• Ensure secure coding practices (OWASP principles, input validation, authentication/authorization, secrets management).

Collaboration & Coordination

• Collaborate with DevOps, QA, Architects, BAs, and UI/UX designers in an Agile/Scrum delivery model.
• Participate actively in sprint planning, refinement, reviews, and retrospectives; contribute to delivery predictability and quality gates.
• Mentor junior engineers through pairing, code reviews, and technical guidance; uplift team capability and consistency.

Testing & Deployment

• Maintain high testing standards (unit/integration tests).
• Assist in deployment using CI/CD pipelines, ensuring minimal downtime and smooth production rollouts.
• Contribute to observability practices (logging, monitoring, alerts) to support operational excellence.

Troubleshooting & Support

• Diagnose and resolve technical issues in production.
