Collaborate with Product and QA teams to refine Acceptance Criteria, ensuring tasks are well-defined and actionable.
Bring innovative ideas to improve software development practices and processes.
Participate in peer code reviews and contribute to the continuous improvement of the CI/CD pipeline.
Mentor team members and engage in pair programming to uphold best practices and ensure quality deliverables.
Work closely with cross-functional and cross-domain teams to devise and implement effective engineering solutions.
