- building systems that deploy configuration and software updates across fleets of machines
- evolving authentication and permissions systems used across the Viam platform
- building infrastructure for storing and retrieving logs uploaded from deployed machines
- improving the systems that track machine usage and power Viam’s billing platform
- shaping architecture decisions that help the fleet platform scale as deployments grow

- debugging complex distributed systems or production services
- working across teams to improve shared platform capabilities, developer tooling, or user-facing systems
