Help your teammates by reviewing their pull requests, answering their questions, unblocking them when they are stuck

Create opportunities to brainstorm, share different perspectives, and seek different opinions to help achieve the best possible engineering solution

Look beyond what is on your plate for the active sprint and pay attention to what others in your own team and the larger engineering organization is building

Keep an eye on what is coming down the pipeline on the roadmap and get a good grasp of the company and product vision
