  • Implement and uphold best practices for CI/CD, testing, observability, and deployment of backend systems in production cloud environments.
  • Partner closely with AI engineers, product managers, implementation teams, and customer stakeholders to solve high-impact problems.
  • Mentor engineers, contribute to internal documentation and standards, and influence technical direction.
