• Create solutions and design and implement across a multi-language stack (C#, .NET, C++, Assembler, COBOL), ensuring secure, maintainable, and high-performing solutions.
• Drive delivery in an Agile environment (Scrum/Kanban), contributing to story definition, estimation, sprint planning, daily execution, demos, and retrospectives.
• Translate product requirements into technical designs; identify dependencies, tradeoffs, risks, and phased delivery plans.
• Set and reinforce engineering standards through code reviews, design reviews, documentation, and automated quality practices.
• Create tables and update existing data structures for yourself and teammates.
• Foster strong craftsmanship, ownership, and continuous improvement.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Collaborate across multiple technical and product teams (engineering, QA, architecture, infrastructure, security, and product management) to align priorities and deliver integrated outcomes.

Cybersecurity, Risk & Compliance

• Embed cyber security practices into day-to-day engineering: perform threat modeling as appropriate, remediate vulnerabilities, and partner with security teams on risk reviews and secure design decisions.
• Champion secure coding principles and addressing findings from code scanning and reviews.
