• React to software problems quickly and effectively, correcting code and related configurations as necessary
• Debug complex issues across multiple layers (application, service, interface, data) and environments (development, integration, field)
• Support and refine unit, integration, and system-level tests to validate functionality and prevent regressions across both custom and low code/no code solutions
• Serve as a senior technical resource within the development team, mentoring junior and mid-level developers
• Coach team members on the effective and secure use of low code/no code platforms within the broader system architecture
