• Improving the editor (e.g., IntelliJ) experience for all backend developers
• Helping to shape the technical strategy that directly moves our core metrics (Developer Experience, Developer Velocity, Debuggability, Resilience and Reliability) while reducing cost
• Partnering with engineering leaders across all Airbnb teams for adoption of the new capabilities
