- Build and maintain internal tools (Python or Go preferred) that make fellow engineers’ lives easier—think chat-ops bots, auto-scaling workflows, and deployment automation
- Keep the lights green: upgrade versions, patch vulnerabilities, optimize cloud spend, and respond to incidents with calm, data-driven fixes
- Evolve our observability stack (DataDog, Grafana, Prometheus) so teams can spot issues before customers do
- Contribute to design docs and runbooks in Confluence; review code in GitHub; ship via GitHub Actions, Terraform Cloud, and Argo CD
