  • Drive code generation and type-safe interfaces across services, using technologies such as GraphQL, Protocol Buffers, gRPC, and OpenAPI.
  • Set and automate code quality standards with tools like TypeScript, ESLint, Prettier, and Go linters or formatters, including writing custom rules and plugins.
  • Streamline onboarding and local development setup for new engineers.
  • Collaborate with platform teams to improve deployment processes, infrastructure integration, and external tooling.
  • Lead migrations to improved tools and keep the codebase up to date.
