Example phrasing
Strong — specific, evidenced, role-appropriate
“Led the platform-tier rewrite end-to-end across three engineers, authored the design doc that the team chose as the architecture, took p99 latency from 1.8s to 380ms on the read path, and developed two mid-level engineers into running their own design-doc work.”
Weak — vague, unevidenced, generic
“Strong senior engineer.”
