• Contribute to sprint planning, backlog refinement, estimation, and retrospectives
• Collaborate closely with cross functional partners (product, UX, architecture, QA, security) to deliver incremental value
• Communicate progress, risks, and technical considerations clearly within the team

AI Assisted Development & Modern Engineering Practices

• Use AI assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot or equivalent) to improve productivity, code quality, and delivery speed in accordance with enterprise standards
• Contribute to the integration of intelligent capabilities into applications, where applicable, through clean and well designed interfaces
• Apply DevOps and CI/CD best practices to support reliable build, test, and deployment pipelines

Core Skills & Competencies:

• Strong software engineering fundamentals with attention to detail and code quality
• Proficiency in modern frontend and backend development practices
• Solid understanding of Agile methodologies and collaborative development
• Effective problem solving and troubleshooting skills
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to work effectively in a distributed, virtual team environment
