• Own the systems and services you build through production, including participation in a follow-the-sun on-call rotation.
• Contribute to Infrastructure-as-Code, CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, and platform engineering practices.
• Build practical internal tooling using technologies such as Go, Python, and Bash.
• Operate and support production databases and related infrastructure where required.
