- Be in constant communication with the production teams and the people who use your tools to respond to their requests and needs.
- Monitor performance and memory budgets and adjust as needed.
- Debug and optimize existing systems to facilitate the work of other programming teams.
- Document your work to transfer your knowledge and allow production to understand the systems and their functionalities.
- Keep abreast of advances in the field of programming.
