  • Take part in fleet initiatives such as cluster lifecycle automation, upgrades, policy enforcement, and observability improvements, with guidance from senior engineers.
  • Partner with SRE, security, and product engineering teams to understand their needs and help deliver self-service platform capabilities that reduce toil.
  • Be an AI amplifier: use AI tooling in your everyday engineering workflows 9 agentic coding assistants (e.g., Claude Code) for development, code review, automation, and operational runbooks 9 to force-multiply your output as you ramp.
  • Develop an agentic mindset: learn to spot repetitive operational work and propose agent-driven or AI-augmented automations that reduce manual effort.
  • Participate in design reviews and code reviews, write clear technical documentation, and grow your platform and cloud-native expertise.
