Support data ingestion, transformation, and validation workflows in coordination with data engineers, AI engineers, and functional SMEs.
Build reusable front-end and back-end components that can support future enhancements and related Guidehouse delivery efforts.
Participate in system design, sprint planning, code reviews, testing, deployment readiness, and user acceptance activities.
Implement automated testing, CI/CD practices, documentation, logging, monitoring, and error handling to support production readiness.
Troubleshoot defects, performance issues, integration challenges, and user experience gaps across the full application stack.
Collaborate with stakeholders to translate functional requirements into technical designs and working software.
What You Will Need:

Experience working in cloud, containerized, or enterprise deployment environments using CI/CD, version control, automated testing, and DevSecOps practices.
Ability to work with product owners, functional SMEs, AI engineers, architects, and data teams to translate requirements into working software.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
