• Contribute to technical strategy and architectural decisions, always with a focus on tangible business outcomes
• Build secure APIs and integrate with third-party services and platforms
• Work within our approved AI tooling and practices, including agentic workflows (Git Hub Copilot, Claude Code), applying good judgement on where AI assistance speeds up delivery and where it doesn’t
• Maintain clear ownership and accountability over AI-assisted contributions, including attribution and review practices for agent-generated code
• Champion quality, observability, and resilience across everything you ship
• Collaborate closely with your squad and wider stakeholders, taking full ownership of your deliverables
• Share your knowledge, mentoring colleagues and helping shape our evolving engineering practices, including how we use AI responsibly
