• 
  Optimize Core Web Vitals and page performance

• 
  Implement security hardening best practices

• 
  Conduct code reviews and maintain high code standards

• 
  Ensure scalability and reliability

• 
  Monitor uptime and performance metrics

• 
  Handle malware remediation and vulnerability fixes when needed

• 
  Write testable, reusable, and maintainable code

You take ownership beyond “it works” — toward “it scales, performs, and lasts.”

  Work closely with Product, Growth, SEO, Design, and QA teams

• 
  Translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions

• 
  Mentor junior developers

• 
  Participate in sprint planning and architecture discussions
