Implements and optimizes components within existing distributed systems under guidance. Applies basic scalability requirements, conducts performance/load testing, and configures resiliency features (retries, circuit breakers, timeouts) to handle network variability. Builds telemetry, alerts, and runbook-driven procedures delivers scoped features and fault-injection tests and helps implement basic data replication and synchronization. Assists with on-call rotations, uses automation/IaC scripts to troubleshoot, and follows change, security, and compliance procedures (encryption, access controls, remediation plans) while escalating complex issues to senior engineers.
