• Integrate OpenAI and Google Gemini APIs for AI-powered discovery, recommendations, and matching; work with Neo4j graph data for relationship-driven insights
• Use AI-assisted development workflows (pair programming, code generation, test scaffolding) to increase velocity without compromising quality; handle AI feature failures, timeouts, and token costs with a production mindset
• Instrument features with PostHog and Datadog; design and run A/B experiments and feature-flag rollouts via Optimizely; use data to drive iteration
• Contribute to architecture decisions, ADRs, and post-incident reviews; address performance bottlenecks across the stack (GraphQL resolvers, N+1 queries, frontend rendering, mobile time-to-interactive)
