• Contribute to system design discussions and scalability improvements
• Ensure code quality through testing, code reviews, and CI/CD practices
• Leverage AI tools and agents to accelerate development, debugging, and solution design
• Support the integration of AI/voice technologies such as STT/TTS or LLM APIs
