• Use root cause analysis to identify and address bugs and outages. Maintain and use logging and debugging best practices across services and apps.
• Maintain existing architecture concepts and best practices to build new components and extend existing services and apps that meet system performance, modifiability, maintainability, and reliability needs.
• Maintain basic security and compliance practices in daily work.
• Follow agile processes and continuous integration/delivery practices to ship stories and own medium complexity epics/projects.
• Collaborate and communicate effectively within and across teams, participate in technical discussions, and engage in two-way non-technical discussions with design and product teams.
• Seek guidance, feedback, and learning opportunities from across teams. Support growth of juniors and new team members.
• Display eagerness to learn and collaborate on goal-setting, independently creating goals aligned with personal development.
• Understand business value behind roadmap projects, participate in development scoping and project analysis, and communicate risks and opportunities.
