• Spot technical risks early and work with your team to mitigate them, ensuring timely, high-quality delivery
• Hold a high bar for reliability, scalability, performance, and security in the code and services you ship
• Participate in the on-call escalation chain, helping reduce escalations and improve operational health
• Build resilience and observability into the systems you work on, so we can run enterprise-grade agentic services in the cloud
  
  

You Have:
