• Own features end-to-end - from requirements through production - with Product, Design, and engineers
• Flag blockers early, follow through on fixes, and improve team workflows, tooling, and processes
• Contribute through code reviews, knowledge sharing, clear communication, and team-level technical decisions

• Familiarity with common design patterns (e.g., Repository, Factory, Strategy) and scalability concepts such as caching, stateless APIs, pagination, and horizontal vs vertical scaling.
• Experience using logs and metrics for troubleshooting and basic performance analysis, including understanding latency vs throughput in development or production environments.
• Daily use of AI or agentic development tools (e.g., Cursor, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT) for coding, debugging, refactoring, or documentation, with consistent review of AI-generated code before shipping.
