• Translate product requirements into well-structured technical solutions
• Write clean, maintainable code with appropriate tests (unit/integration)
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to engineering standards and best practices
• Debug production issues and improve system reliability and performance
• Collaborate with product, design, and QA to deliver high-quality releases
• Continuously improve developer experience through tooling, automation, and documentation

• You deliver features that are reliable, well-tested, and easy to maintain
• You proactively identify improvements to performance, stability, and developer workflows
• You communicate trade-offs clearly and collaborate effectively across functions
• You grow your technical depth and take increasing ownership over components and services
