Instrument services for observability and take ownership of production reliability and performance .
Build and maintain a strong automated test suite, including property-based and integration testing.
Produce technical proposals, architecture docs , and root cause analyses for client-facing decisions.
Mentor other engineers on functional programming patterns and effect-oriented system design.
Translate complex technical trade-offs into clear recommendations for both engineering and client stakeholders.
Support technical evaluations of other consultants when required , contributing to the assessment of skills and alignment with project needs.
What You Bring
