• Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code with full responsibility for unit, integration, end-to-end, and manual testing
• Participate in and contribute to technical design discussions, identifying opportunities for simplification and improvement
• Collaborate with product, design, and business teams to clarify requirements, scope work, and communicate trade-offs and timelines
• Monitor and maintain services in production, contributing to on-call rotations, incident response, and system reliability
