Partner with engineers on adjacent platforms, cryptography, networking, data,: and product teams to integrate residency guarantees into new and existing surfaces without regressing performance or reliability for other customers.
Reason carefully about failure modes, consistency, and blast radius; design: systems that fail closed for compliance while degrading gracefully for availability, and make these tradeoffs explicit in design docs.
Participate in on-call for your services, lead incident response and: post-mortems, and continually invest in reliability, capacity planning, and cost.
Raise the engineering bar through code review, mentorship, and clear written: communication; contribute to the team's engineering standards and tooling.
