• Write and maintain unit, integration, and end-to-end (E2E) tests.
• Investigate incidents, troubleshoot issues, and improve system reliability.
• Participate in code reviews and uphold engineering standards.
• Use AI tools such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or Cursor to accelerate coding, debugging, refactoring, testing, documentation, and delivery workflows.
• Apply judgment in verifying AI outputs, identifying hallucinations, and protecting code quality.
• Work effectively in a remote, async environment across multiple time zones.
• Create bounded workflows for repeatable tasks such as bug triage, test generation, and small feature scaffolding.
• Maintain ownership of architecture, correctness, and quality while using AI to accelerate work.
