- Create secure, high-quality production code, maintaining reliable algorithms and integrations with appropriate systems.
- Lead requirements clarification and delivery readiness by partnering with stakeholders and product leads to translate objectives into actionable epics/stories with clear acceptance criteria and definition of done.
- Facilitate effective stakeholder engagement through customer/user discussions, working sessions, and reviews; drive agendas, capture decisions, and ensure follow-through on actions.
- Maintain a high-quality delivery backlog by supporting product backlog refinement (decomposition, prioritization, sequencing), ensuring alignment to customer/business value.
- Proactively identify and communicate risks, dependencies, and trade-offs, proposing mitigation options to avoid timeline surprises.
- Leverage AI-assisted development tools and techniques to accelerate development/refactoring, improve code quality, and automate testing, documentation, and debugging.
- Participate in design/code reviews and agile ceremonies; optimize performance, scalability, and reliability; ensure adherence to secure coding, risk and control standards; contribute to automation, reusable components, platform engineering standards, and engineering communities—while fostering a culture of diversity, inclusion, and respect.
- Drives team adoption of enterprise-authorized AI-assisted engineering practices within the work environment to improve code quality, delivery speed, and operational outcomes (e.g., AI-assisted code review/refactoring, test strategy acceleration, incident/root-cause analysis support), while establishing consistent validation standards (secure coding, peer review, automated testing) and promoting reuse of effective patterns across the team.
- Applies knowledge of tools within the Software Development Life Cycle toolchain, including enterprise-authorized AI-assisted development and automation capabilities, to improve the value realized by automation.
