Anticipate the solution risks / issues during requirements gathering phase, inform relevant stakeholders and recommend corrective steps. Contribute to the creation of user stories for component/application/complex (For agile methodology). Architecture Acumen: assist in decomposing the product architecture into multiple components and modules and define architectural specifications for each module. Create/Apply the right architectural pattern across the module as indicated in the architectural plan to obtain the right result. Define the architecture blueprint for the various components within a product/solution. Analyze system performance impacting the complete product for non-functional requirements like reliability, operability, performance efficiency and security. Infrastructure Design: create simple, modular, extensible and functional design in adherence to the requirements for multiple systems within a domain. Understand requirements and analyze the gaps between existing architecture and business requirements. Analyze system performance impacting the complete product for non-functional requirements like reliability, operability, performance efficiency and security. Develop detailed design for an entire system within a domain. Conduct review of platform/system design to ensure adherence to security and compliance norms. Coding: create/configure minimalistic code for entire component/application and ensure the components are meeting business/technical requirements, non-functional requirements, low-maintainability, high-availability and high-scalability needs. Assist in the selection of appropriate languages (E.g., JavaScript, Python, C# etc.), development standards and tools (E.g., Monday.com, Linx, Embold etc.) for software coding/configuration. Take initiative to learn the fundamentals of different coding languages and frameworks that would be useful for future scope of work. Build scripts for automation of repetitive and routine tasks in CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery), Testing or any other process (as applicable). Implement telemetry features as required independently. Ensure security policy requirements are properly applied to components/application during code development/configuration. Infrastructure Maintenance: plan for infrastructure updates, expansions and enhancements. Investigate known and unknown server errors based on solutions applied in the past. Test the security system periodically by simulating internal intrusions and noting observations. Help resolve any issue that occurs in the backup media. Regularly audit firewall logs to identify any suspicious activity. Optimize device configurations by suggesting enhancements across the server/ security/ database. Issue Resolution monitor, evaluate and assess the resolution of escalated issues. Issue non-compliance in case of non-adherence to business rules and escalate to the right channel.
