  • Design integrations with email, calendars, messaging platforms, browsers, documents, CRMs, and other business software.

  • Own capabilities across Python and Django services, APIs, React and TypeScript interfaces, data models, background jobs, observability, and production operations.

  • Improve latency, cost, reliability, and safety, using production traces and user feedback to diagnose and address issues.

  • Partner with evaluation and quality teams to define expected behavior and turn findings into engineering improvements.

  • Shape technical direction, build maintainable platform abstractions, and contribute to design reviews.
