• Contribute to architectural decisions: balancing speed of delivery with long-term maintainability and system reliability.
• Debug and resolve complex issues in production environments, with a focus on root cause analysis and long-term fixes.
• Improve and refactor existing codebases, reducing technical debt and increasing system clarity, testability, and performance.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product and other engineering teams to deliver cohesive, end-to-end solutions.
• Contribute to development processes and tooling to improve team efficiency, code quality, and release confidence.
