• Reduce technical debt by addressing existing shortcuts and setting a higher bar for new feature development.
• Build and orchestrate AI Agents to accelerate team productivity and deliver customer value.
• Participate in code reviews to maintain quality and foster knowledge sharing.
• Improve internal tooling and documentation to make the development experience more accessible.
• Develop full-stack features that connect backend services to user‑facing interfaces.

• Data & Lakehouse: Hands‑on with Databricks (Delta Lake, Unity Catalog) or comparable platforms; strong schema design for large‑scale timeseries and relational workloads.
• Performance Optimization: Proven ability to tune queries, indexes, and pipelines against billion-row datasets.
• Agentic AI & Generative AI / LLMs: Experience with Agentic AI, prompt engineering and RAG systems (e.g., LangChain, Hugging Face).
• Debugging: Systematic root‑cause analysis across distributed cloud systems, especially in networking and connectivity.
• Frontend: Working familiarity with React or similar for internal tools and platform dashboards.
