I would focus on technical strategy. It is by far the most high-level, important thing you can do on the engineering side and your point of view should be critical. Is there a CTO? Nothing beats a system wide view to really know where to focus.

I was in your position in 1996 when I worked at WebLogic — I was the first server engineer after the founders. To give you an idea of what a crazy career path that can lead to, see my LinkedIn:

I'm still an engineer and code everyday. Just have a lot of other jobs :)
