- Partner with your manager/tech lead and product stakeholders to translate requirements into technical designs.

- Contribute to and help enforce best practices in system design, testing, observability, and operational excellence within your team.
- Stay current on new technologies, frameworks, and patterns, and propose adoption where it adds value.
