  • Take ownership of code quality through automated unit, integration, and API tests, covering critical business workflows, edge cases, and integration contracts before release.
  • Deploy and support applications in cloud and containerized environments, monitor changes after release, and troubleshoot production issues. Identify root causes and implement improvements that reduce recurring incidents.
  • Guide technical decisions, conduct constructive code reviews, and mentor junior engineers. Proactively improve engineering practices and address technical debt to keep the codebase maintainable as the business grows.
