• Improve pipeline security through least-privilege permissions, OIDC authentication, dependency validation, and GitHub security best practices
• Develop deployment observability including dashboards, metrics, logging, and reporting
• Monitor, triage, and remediate dependency vulnerabilities using GitHub Advanced Security, Dependabot, and other security tooling
• Respond to software supply chain security incidents including emergency dependency remediation and credential rotation
• Support Authority to Operate (ATO) activities including SBOM generation, security documentation, and audit support
• Optimize front-end performance through code splitting, lazy loading, asset optimization, caching, and bundle analysis
• Develop accessible user interfaces that comply with WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508 standards
• Ensure compatibility across supported browsers, devices, and assistive technologies
• Support application teams by troubleshooting CI/CD issues, reviewing platform-impacting changes, and participating in engineering collaboration cycles
• Create and maintain platform documentation, migration guides, and engineering best practices
• Develop internal tooling, dashboards, and automation that improve platform operations and developer experience
• Participate in Agile ceremonies and mentor other engineers
