## Description

As a member of the App Platform team you get to play a few different roles:

Architect: We are the ones that know how our large system should fit together.

Developer: We write lots of code. Some is purely for prototyping and what passes the prototyping phase is made ready for production and used by nearly all server teams.

Consultant: We work closely with all the server teams to understand their needs and lend assistance with the infrastructure we have built.

Leader: We need to be vocal about our experiences to internal teams as well as the outside world through blog posts, presentations and open source contributions.
