• Implement workflow automation and CI/CD (for example, through GitHub Actions) to enforce engineering standards and reduce manual operational work
• Stand up and maintain cloud environments, infrastructure as code, and monitoring, where the role calls for it
• Build accessible, mobile-first, and multilingual interfaces, where the role calls for it
• Own clear, usable public documentation that drives adoption of open standards and tooling
• Collaborate across disciplines to solve technical challenges, troubleshoot production issues, and communicate design decisions and tradeoffs to technical and non-technical stakeholders
