• Provide thoughtful, pragmatic code review on complex PRs, capturing security concerns and ensuring secure-by-design practices.
• Set and refine code best practices; help maintain and improve QA gates.
• Be active in architecture discussions — asking questions, challenging approaches, contributing to target state.
