- Work with our product manager(s) to understand and contribute to our goals, find a solution to reach them and prioritise accordingly
- Engage in the full product lifecycle, including ideation, design, and deployment and get code from initial requirements to deployed services in production (with help of our SRE teams)
- Improve scalability, latency and throughput of our pipelines while keeping high standards in systems reliability and resilience
- Model data and design schemas to accommodate the needs of our Knowledge Graph and the whole data ecosystem
- Collaborate with squads and functions across the company to ensure the quality and impact of your designed solutions
- Be responsible for the quality of your code. Write tests, document, and take ownership of the systems that ensure the quality of our code
- Work with ML engineers to build and deploy new features for AI-powered components
- Actively learn, adopt best practices, identify space for improvement, contribute to our engineering culture and always strive for making us better
