System Architecture & Technical Alignment
Design and implement services and features within established architectural patterns.
Contribute to written technical designs and implementation plans, collaborating with senior engineers to ensure alignment on broader system impact.
Review approaches and trade-offs with the engineering team to maintain consistency,
scalability, and reliability across the platform.
Build software with security, privacy, and compliance considerations in mind, partnering with
internal teams as needed.
Software Development & Delivery
Develop, test, and deploy production-ready code, including building and maintaining automated
tests, to balance delivery timelines with system stability, reliability, and maintainability.
Apply sound technical judgment when refactoring existing systems or implementing pragmatic
fixes, documenting decisions and communicating trade-offs clearly.
Participate actively in code reviews and uphold established engineering standards and best practices.
Operational Ownership & Risk Management
Proactively identify technical risks, performance bottlenecks, and system weaknesses,
proposing solutions and collaborating with senior engineers on higher-impact remediation efforts.
Participate in production support and incident response, contributing to investigation and resolution efforts.
Contribute to monitoring, logging, and alerting practices, and assist with incident investigation,
root cause analysis, and follow-up improvements to support system health and reliability.
Documentation & Communication
Create and maintain clear technical documentation, including implementation notes, architectural context, and code-level documentation.
Use written communication to keep work visible, reduce reliance on synchronous meetings, and support effective collaboration in a distributed environment.
Ensure technical decisions, open questions, and current work status are accessible and understandable to other team members.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Partner with Product and Operations teams to understand requirements and deliver reliable technical solutions.
Collaborate effectively with distributed team members across time zones using asynchronous tools such as Slack, Jira, and shared documentation.
Support continuous improvement initiatives that enhance system reliability, developer efficiency, and operational clarity.
