- Improve system observability, monitoring, and operational readiness
- Participate in on-call rotations to support production systems and ensure reliability
- Collaborate closely with product, frontend, and UX teams to deliver scalable features
- Contribute to architectural decisions, service design, and platform evolution

For more senior scope (Level 4)

Infrastructure & Platform
- Experience with cloud environments (preferably AWS: Lambda, EC2/Beanstalk, SNS/SQS, S3)
- Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred)
- Exposure to Kubernetes is a plus

Leadership & Collaboration

features, or technical initiatives
- Ability to influence architecture and technical direction
