Own the full production lifecycle of what you build, including testing, deployment, monitoring, on-call and incident follow-up
Work closely with product, engineering and operations teams to turn loosely defined requirements into scalable technical solutions
Contribute to CI/CD,



observability and developer experience

Desired Qualifications
3+ years of qualified software engineering experience (ideally in AI Infrastructure/Data Centers, Hyperscaler, Big 4 Banks - experience from these companies are paramount)
