• Analyzes and defines software and system requirements to establish specifications and standards. • Develops, debugs, tests, and troubleshoots code throughout the application lifecycle while improving observability and reliability via monitoring, alerting, incident response, and post-incident hardening. • Designs, builds, deploys, and operates production systems and services supporting product features, integrations, and platform capabilities. • Develops tools for infrastructure and technology platforms including operating systems, networks, databases, and cloud solutions to optimize operational efficiency. • Builds and maintains CDC/streaming data movement workflows (e.g., Debezium, Kafka) with focus on replay, idempotency, backfills, and schema evolution. • Delivers reliable integrations with cloud storage and data warehouses such as Snowflake and Iceberg, leveraging dbt for modeled data layers. • Writes clean, maintainable code shipped through robust Git/PR/CI/CD workflows with appropriate testing, documentation, and peer code reviews to meet or exceed standards. • Uses Terraform, containers, and Kubernetes (or equivalents) to safely deploy and operate services and infrastructure. • Partners cross-functionally to define requirements, shape technical approaches, and deliver iterative value. • Mentors engineers and contributes to engineering standards, design reviews, and platform best practices.
