Work with blockchain-related systems and data flows, validating correctness, consistency, and edge cases across different networks and protocols.
Perform automation-related web scraping and data extraction where required, ensuring stability and compliance with technical constraints.
Proactively identify system weaknesses, gaps in coverage, and potential failure points; propose and implement effective technical solutions independently.
Collaborate closely with Backend Engineers, DevOps, and Product teams to ensure automation is well-integrated into CI/CD pipelines and development processes.
Review and improve existing automation codebases, ensuring adherence to best practices, clean architecture, and maintainable design.
Contribute to continuous improvement of engineering standards, tooling, and automation strategies across the team.
Stay up to date with new technologies, tools, and approaches in automation, blockchain infrastructure, and backend systems.
