• Develop telemetry systems and dashboards to help teams make data-driven decisions about technical feature development.
• Contribute to tooling that supports AI-driven testing initiatives.
• Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code while participating in code reviews, team discussions, and knowledge-sharing sessions.
• Present project findings and recommendations to the team and select stakeholders, gaining experience communicating technical solutions.

• Strong software debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work independently, take ownership of tasks, and collaborate effectively with team members.
• Interest in experimentation and the ability to communicate complex ideas and analysis clearly, both verbally and in writing.
• Ability to write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code.
• Willingness to participate in code reviews, team discussions, and knowledge-sharing sessions.
• Broad understanding of microservice architecture is a plus.
