- Leading platform level testing, debugging, and automation efforts, including establishing new standards for monitoring and maintenance.
- Developing fully attributed data models and tuning data management solutions for optimal performance at scale.
- Ensuring all implementations meet defined “definition of done” criteria, including reliability, security, and deployment stability.
- Supporting the long term operational health of high traffic, customer facing systems.

- Proven experience delivering production-ready services in large-scale, high-traffic environments
- Hands on experience with automated testing and CI/CD pipelines, including tools such as Kotest and Vela
- Proficiency in system observability and debugging, using tools such as Grafana and Kibana
- Experience developing, tuning, and maintaining data-intensive systems with performance and reliability requirements
- Ability to independently execute complex engineering tasks in fast-paced, ambiguous environments
