- Validate software quality and conformance to specifications and business requirements through unit-functional testing, and assist in identifying and solving the root cause of defects in the system
- Prepare presentations and documentation of existing and future technical processes
- Find opportunities and communicate proactively with partners on projects and feature requests, and you make recommendations that support company themes and team goals
- Participate and assist in key IT projects and ad-hoc projects; you update BSAs on related work that affects other areas of the business; you collaborate on cross-team initiatives
