  • Maintain and improve our internal developer tool written in Golang

  • Partner across teams to standardise workflows, enable self-serve integrations, and reduce cross-team friction.

  • Improve reliability and safety with sensible defaults—observability, guardrails, and secure-by-default patterns.
