Contribute to the identification of requirements for, and development of automation within production and deployment of a complex product feature, targeting zero-touch deployment where possible.  Run code in simulated or other non-production environments to confirm functionality and error-free runtime for products with little to no oversight. Review product feature code and test code to ensure it meets team standards, contains the correct test coverage, and is appropriate for the product feature. Contribute to bringing insight to code reviews, helping improve code quality, and coaching and providing feedback to develop other engineers' skills with minimal guidance. Contribute to code reviews in a timely fashion to help accelerate the pace of development on the team. Consider diagnosability, reliability, testability, and maintainability when reviewing code. Apply best practices to build code based on well-established methods and secure design principles while also applying best practices for new code development and formal validation of security invariants. Follow best practices for product development and scaling to customer requirements, and meeting scaling needs, performance expectations, and security promises. Leverage internal experimentation infrastructures to conduct experiments that determine the impact of changes, using feature flags and flighting. Collaborate with internal partners such as data scientists and product managers to incorporate success and guardrail metrics for experimentation with minimal guidance. Identify areas to contribute to integration of logging and instrumentation for gathering telemetry data on system behavior, such as performance, reliability, availability, usage, and safety mechanisms. Enable monitoring and investigation of security-related concerns and scenarios for both live and A/B experiments. Contribute to improving monitoring designs by classifying and analyzing data and creating outputs that enhance system monitoring and issue identification and mitigation, while considering the privacy implications of
