Develop and maintain SDKs and supporting assets to enable 'plug‑n‑play' consumption by clients/partners and internal teams.
Write high-quality code with unit tests, participate in code reviews, and follow the team’s SDLC and branching practices.
Troubleshoot issues using logging, debugging, and basic observability signals; contribute to operational readiness with runbooks and clear documentation.
Collaborate with product, architecture, and peer engineering teams to refine requirements, estimate work, and deliver iteratively in an Agile environment.
Apply secure coding practices and align solutions to common security standards.
Contribute to AI-enabled capabilities such as integrating LLM-based services, building lightweight internal assistants/agents, or using AI tools to improve test automation and developer workflow.
