• Develop high-quality, performant, modern, clean and readable code within tight deadlines
• Develop internal tooling and platform primitives that accelerate the product engineering team
• Implement observability, monitoring, and alerting to ensure high availability and fast incident response
• Collaborate closely with product, design, and frontend engineers to deliver end-to-end features
• Contribute to architecture decisions, technical documentation, and engineering standards as the team grows
