    • Develop reliable and scalable systems using Python and AWS cloud services.
    • Build APIs, data services, and tooling that enable efficient access to autonomous vehicle data.
    • Improve platform reliability, observability, performance, and operational efficiency.
    • Own production services and participate in troubleshooting, incident response, and root cause analysis.
    • Collaborate cross-functionally with internal and external teams to understand requirements and deliver scalable solutions.
    • Optimize storage, compute, and data movement costs while maintaining high performance and availability.
    • Contribute to architecture discussions, code reviews, and engineering best practices.
    • Support CI/CD, infrastructure automation, and operational excellence across the platform.
