·        Conduct thorough code reviews, offer constructive feedback, and propose process or technical improvements;

·        Perform in-depth analyses of business needs and develop robust, cost-effective solutions;

·        Coordinate with QA to refine testing scenarios and maintain high-quality outcomes;

·        Comfortable with most of the solution stack, with a willingness to learn new technologies;

·        Able to analyze business challenges and craft technical solutions that align with both client and product objectives;
