Custom business tooling

• Work across teams and organizations to understand where tools, processes, or systems are falling short, and turn those gaps into proposals that platform leads can prioritize
• Scope and deliver apps and tooling to address identified gaps
• Ship early versions quickly, learn from how people use them, and improve them over time
• Own the tools you build through rollout, adoption, and ongoing support

Build, buy, or integrate

• Evaluate whether a need is best met by building, buying, or integrating an existing product, and recommend one with the tradeoffs
• Connect tools to the systems the company already uses, such as identity, data sources, and Slack, so they work together
• Help shape the architecture of internal systems, so they stay consistent and maintainable as the company grows

Reliability and AI

• Build operational basics into the framework, so every internal app gets incident management, SLO, and alerting defaults automatically
• Use AI tooling to speed up delivery and to automate workflows where it adds value

• Experience designing reusable frameworks, templates, or platforms that other engineers build on
• Experience deploying to the cloud (AWS, GCP, or Azure) with containers and CI/CD, and working knowledge of Kubernetes
• Sound judgment on build, buy, and integrate decisions, and experience integrating third-party SaaS products and APIs
• Experience working directly with non-engineering stakeholders to turn a need into a working tool
• Experience with AI-assisted development or LLM-powered automation
