Desirable

Job responsibilities

• Write, review and maintain production code across the stack, applying sound engineering judgment and quality standards regardless of whether code originates from you, a teammate, or an AI-assisted workflow
• Contribute to system design discussions and produce clear design/architecture artifacts for services and features; ensure implementation aligns with agreed constraints and non-functional requirements
• Identify and surface issues proactively and help drive improvements to code quality, observability, and system architecture
