Design and troubleshoot AWS and Kubernetes-based infrastructure for robustness, security, and observability
Own features and systems end-to-end, from design through production delivery, and improve the health of surrounding systems
Partner with product managers, designers, and other engineering teams to conceptualize and build new features
Support production issue resolution and build tests that ensure the quality, performance, and scalability of the application
