- Implement high-quality user-facing interfaces and experiences using modern web technologies.
- Assist in building APIs and services for content-management.
- Work closely with team members to develop features and iterate rapidly based on feedback.
- Help manage cloud infrastructure, ensuring high availability, observability, and smooth development workflows.
- Maintain high-quality engineering practices including version control, testing, documentation, and CI/CD workflows.
