YOUR MISSION

• Design and build automation workflows and business systems in Python and JavaScript/TypeScript, with Rust where performance justifies it.
• Build integrations between systems and keep them running reliably in production, with sensible failure handling.

• Work with process owners to map how things run today and design something better before automating it.
• Mentor engineers and QA analysts, review their work, and hold it to the team's engineering standards.
• Document workflows, system changes and operational runbooks, and keep them current.
