• Help improve and streamline engineering processes by identifying inefficiencies and suggesting solutions
• Participate in testing new ideas by quickly building, trying, and improving prototypes
• Embrace a fail-fast approach — short cycles, quick learning, and moving on with better information
• Support the setup and deployment of tools, including helping manage environments where solutions run
• Evaluate tools and models through hands-on use, not benchmarks alone
• Help identify what scales and what doesn't based on real-world deployment behavior
