Your collaboration with engineering during implementation will be crucial, as you will hold bug bashes and ensure a high standard of product excellence at each launch phase. Additionally, you will work alongside other UX designers to conduct peer reviews and execute delegated tasks related to well-defined project timelines, goals, and objectives.
