- Optimize performance and cost efficiency of data processing jobs and queries

- Write clean, well-tested code and participate in code reviews to maintain high engineering standards

- Collaborate with senior engineers to contribute to design discussions and architectural decisions

- Debug and resolve production issues, participating in on-call rotations as needed

- Document systems, processes, and runbooks to support operational excellence
