Essential Functions
In addition to working in accordance with appropriate conduct and behavioral standards, specific responsibilities of this role include: Own medium-sized features or components from design and estimation through implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance. Apply established design patterns, architectural principles, and best practices to deliver robust, scalable, and maintainable solutions. Use customer context and product requirements to inform technical decisions, ensuring solutions support usability, performance, and reliability. Participate in on-call rotations or incident response as applicable, contributing to root-cause analysis and resolution of customer-impacting issues. Write high-quality, testable code that adheres to coding standards, including appropriate unit, integration, and regression tests. Conduct code reviews that provide constructive feedback, identify defects, verify AI-assisted changes, and help maintain consistency and quality across the codebase. Recommend and implement improvements to development processes, tooling, and team workflows—including AI-assisted approaches—to increase efficiency and quality, using evidence to retain or retire practices. Collaborate effectively with product, UX, QA, and other engineering team members, helping to clarify requirements, identify dependencies, and align on delivery plans. Communicate clearly and proactively about progress, risks, trade-offs, and technical constraints to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Support the onboarding and skill development of junior engineers through pairing, informal mentoring, and knowledge sharing. Use approved AI capabilities independently across implementation, testing, debugging, documentation, production support, and code comprehension; provide context and constraints, evaluate alternatives, and explain decisions. Validate AI-assisted work against requirements, edge cases, failure paths, dependencies, tests, and coding standards. Document verification of significant or high-risk AI-assisted changes and remain accountable for submitted work.
