• Build and evolve data processing services and ETL/ELT pipelines for data ingestion, transformation, and querying.

• Integrate with the big data query and processing layers using distributed query engines and columnar storage formats to support analytics at scale.

• Implement multi-tenant data isolation patterns across database, cache, and storage layers.

• Develop and maintain authentication and authorization integrations with identity providers, including session-based auth and mTLS for service-to-service communication.

• Design and implement test strategies, automation frameworks, and unit/integration/functional/regression tests to drive up code coverage and system reliability.

• Master the team's development processes, culture, and codebase, and continuously identify opportunities to improve them.

• Participate in the team's on-call rotation to address complex problems in real-time and keep services operational and highly available.

• Present technical designs to internal and external groups and participate in design reviews.
