I tend to delegate most of the coding work to juniors on my team because it's easier, more rewarding, and the consequences of mistakes are less severe. But in terms of actually doing the infra/integration work -- IMO most important thing is having as good a local version of the staging/prod environments as possible. You need a pretty accurate mental model of how the various services *actually* talk to each other, and it's easier to gain that if you can poke and prod a local cluster with low latency and without the fear of blowing something up in prod. Minikube or Kind (https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/) is your friend.
