Own and evolve the core app surfaces: the React web app, the tRPC API, and our real-time UI and admin consoles.
Define platform primitives: IAM (authn/authz), multitenancy, and audit logging as reusable building blocks for all teams.
Architect and implement event‑driven services and typed API contracts in TypeScript/Node.js.
Write production code ca. 50% of the time on the hardest parts (auth flows, performance fixes, real-time features).
Establish SLOs and observability (traces, metrics, logs) and lead incident response for the Core surfaces.
Lead architecture reviews and ADRs, drive technical decision‑making, and set cross‑team standards.
Partner with Platform on Kubernetes, CI/CD, and security baselines to ship reliable releases.
