- Work with AWS cloud services to develop and deploy scalable digital applications.
- Collaborate closely with Product Owners, UX specialists, architects and engineers to translate customer and business needs into practical technical solutions.
- Apply strong engineering practices across automated testing, code quality, security, performance, observability and maintainability.
- Participate in code reviews and technical design reviews, providing constructive guidance and promoting consistent engineering standards.
- Troubleshoot complex front-end, integration and production issues and drive them through to resolution.
- Contribute to continuous improvement of development practices, tools, standards and reusable components.
- Mentor and support other developers while contributing to a collaborative engineering culture.
- Work with globally distributed teams and delivery partners to deliver reliable and supportable solutions.
