- Micromanaging visual design - while crucial, your focus is on engineering excellence and technological innovation.
- Working in isolation - you'll be at the nexus of cross-functional collaboration, driving unity between product vision and technical execution.
- Maintaining status quo - this role is about pushing boundaries, not preserving them.
