 * Investigate and resolve challenging production issues, using deep systems expertise to prevent recurrence.
 * Build tooling, automation, and observability that make the service easier to operate, diagnose, and evolve.
 * Partner with security and compliance teams to embed secure-by-design practices into storage infrastructure.
 * Establish engineering standards through design reviews, technical mentorship, and clear written communication.
