• Ensure stable releases with strong observability (metrics, logs, traces)
• Collaborate closely with product, AI/ML, frontend, and DevOps teams to translate requirements into robust backend systems
• Mentor engineers, review code, and influence technical and architectural decisions
• Take ownership of backend features end-to-end — from system design to deployment and monitoring
