• Troubleshoot and support integrations with third-party systems via APIs, SSO implementations, and secure file transfer protocols.
• Identify opportunities and contribute to initiatives improving processes, automation, cost optimization, security posture, and overall engineering excellence.
• Stay current with emerging trends in cloud infrastructure, reliability engineering, and observability tooling; share insights with the team.
• Uphold core values (Make it Happen, One Team, Serve) in daily interactions and delivery commitments.
