• Partner with product and platform teams across Ads Manager and core infrastructure to define platform patterns and land cross-team changes safely and incrementally.
• Use AI assistants to accelerate coding, refactors and test creation for migrations and feature work, while applying your own judgement to review, adapt and validate all AI-generated changes.
