Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Worked in Caching Infrastructure with Rust.
There are generally a couple of meetings every day. Other than that, everything is relative. There are days when you interact with a lot of people and days when you can just be on your own and work on your project.
