• Participate in application deployments, release management, debugging, and production support.
• Work closely with senior technical leadership and business stakeholders on solution design and implementation.
• Evaluate and adopt new programming languages, frameworks, libraries, and development tools based on project requirements.
• Contribute to technical documentation, code quality, testing, and engineering best practices.
• Collaborate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders throughout the software development lifecycle.
