Drive technical and product decisions through design reviews, code reviews, and architectural discussions.
Lead our efforts working with customers with novel or frontier workloads so: they can be successful running on Modal.
Translate learnings from frontier customers into a roadmap for our internal: optimization platform and user-facing product, so that gains from optimization and research efforts are accessible to all of our users.
