This role blends hands-on engineering with real client impact, keeping complex systems reliable under pressure.

- High level of ownership and autonomy, including taking initiative and owning tasks—specifically merging and deploying code—without requiring hand-holding.
- Ability to work independently and autonomously.

- Drive timely issue resolution to meet established SLAs.
- Monitor production systems and respond quickly to alerts or performance degradation ("going red").
- Support architecture changes and system integrations that may impact hiring events.
- Maintain and update event logic in response to changes in dependencies and upstream systems.
