Key Responsibilities:

• Deliver high-quality features and enhancements independently, with occasional guidance on more complex initiatives

• Collaborate with engineers, product managers, and cross-functional teams to design and implement solutions

• Contribute to technical discussions, engineering standards, and continuous improvement initiatives

• Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code

• Participate in CI/CD processes and support modern development practices

• Troubleshoot and resolve production issues

• Contribute to system and API design within a microservices environment

• Continuously learn and adapt to evolving technologies and project needs
