Own one or more core systems end-to-end reliability, performance, scalability. Not just the code. The whole thing.
Lead the design and architecture of complex, distributed systems, frameworks, and libraries aligned with Locus's technical strategy.
Drive engineering operational excellence, define roadmaps for system reliability, observability, and performance improvements.
Analyze and optimize existing systems for latency, throughput, and efficiency, ensuring they perform at scale.
Work closely with a team both Biological and Digital Product, Data, and Infrastructure to translate business requirements into technical deliverables.
Mentor and guide engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence, ownership, and continuous learning.
Establish and uphold coding standards, conduct design and code reviews, and promote best practices across teams.
Stay ahead of the curve on emerging technologies, frameworks, and patterns to strengthen Locus's technology foundation.
Contribute to hiring, identify and attract top-tier engineering talent.
