  • Improve application performance, reliability, maintainability and operational visibility as the product evolves.
  • Plan and deliver new application versions to existing customers, considering compatibility, deployment risk and service continuity.
  • Diagnose and resolve complex issues across the UI, backend, real-time communications, message processing, cache and AWS infrastructure.
  • Maintain appropriate automated test coverage using Playwright and Jest, supported by peer review and disciplined source control.
  • Provide clear estimates for development work and identify technical risks, dependencies and blockers early.
  • Maintain technical documentation and contribute to engineering standards and reusable development patterns.
  • Work with product, delivery and customer-facing teams to translate roadmap requirements into practical, supportable technical solutions.
