• Design and develop scalable solutions using cloud‑native architectures and microservices in a large distributed computing environment.
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to technical documentation.
• Build and maintain resilient distributed systems that are scalable, fault‑tolerant, and cost‑effective.
• Leverage and contribute to the development of GenAI and AI‑powered tools to enhance development productivity while staying current with emerging technologies.
• Write clean, maintainable code following best practices and design patterns.
• Work in an agile environment practicing CI/CD principles while participating in operational responsibilities including on‑call duties.
• Demonstrate operational excellence through monitoring, troubleshooting, and resolving production issues.
