* lead the design and delivery of restful api services from problem statement through production, including writing design documents and weighing architectural trade‑offs.
* review code and designs from peers across the squad and the wider backend department, raising the bar on quality, testability, and operational readiness.

* practical aws experience and a clear mental model of how cloud services compose into resilient systems.
* comfortable owning linux‑based, containerized services with docker in production, including debugging issues that cross service boundaries.
