• Contribute to DevOps processes (CI/CD, monitoring, infrastructure) and help optimize development pipelines.
  
  
• Participate in architecture discussions and influence the future direction of the platform.
  
  
• Investigate and adopt new technologies (e.g. WASM, serverless patterns) to continually improve the platform.
