Design and implement APIs that query, aggregate, and serve data reliably at scale
Build and operate cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform), following established team patterns
Serve as an on‑call first responder for the services your team owns; triage, debug, and resolve production issues, then drive durable fixes and improvements
Create test plans for the features you build and contribute to automated testing (unit, integration, end‑to‑end) to enable safe,



frequent releases
Conduct peer reviews of code, designs, test plans, and documentation, providing constructive feedback that raises team quality and adheres to engineering standards
Mentor IC1 engineers and interns; openly share expertise and knowledge within the team
Improve the developer experience by enhancing tooling, test coverage, and code structure (shift‑left)
Use modern AI coding tools to accelerate delivery while continuing to build the deep engineering foundations needed to grow into a senior engineer
