Participate in on-call rotations and provide technical support to troubleshoot and resolve customer issues
Contribute to API design for customer-facing REST endpoints used by security operations teams
Communicate effectively in an async-first environment, provide updates, surface blockers, and propose solutions without prompting
Leverage AI development tools to enhance productivity, optimize workflows, and deliver reliable production outcomes
Mentor junior engineers and raise the engineering bar through code reviews and knowledge sharing
