Design & architecture: Contribute to architecture proposals and design docs; evaluate tradeoffs across functionality, performance, reliability, cost (COGS), and dependencies; ensure designs meet security, privacy, and compliance expectations. Implementation & code quality: Write clean, efficient, maintainable code; apply best practices and patterns; participate in timely code reviews and raise quality through constructive feedback and coaching. Testing & engineering lifecycle: Define and execute a test strategy (unit/integration/security testing), improve test coverage, prevent regressions, and follow disciplined SDLC practices (estimation, reviews, bug triage, check-in, sign-off). Reliability & live-site excellence: Operate and improve live services (on-call/DRI as needed); use logs, telemetry, and debugging tools to investigate issues with least-privilege access; run retrospectives, implement repair actions, and improve TSGs/monitoring to prevent recurrence. Data-driven problem solving: Use telemetry and experimentation/metrics (where applicable) to validate assumptions, prioritize work, and drive customer/partner outcomes. Communication & collaboration: Communicate clearly and respectfully in written and oral form; align stakeholders across organizational boundaries to drive mutually beneficial outcomes and cohesive end-to-end experiences. AI-native development: Use AI tools responsibly across the SDLC (coding, tests, analysis, documentation); review and own all AI-assisted changes and apply appropriate tooling/processes.
