• Work closely with systems teams in requirements gathering and software design.
• Identify the scope of work, provide initial estimates and resources required for completion.
• Demonstrate understanding of the Agile software development lifecycle and distinguish core inputs and outputs in each cycle.
• Maintain code quality through best practices, unit testing and code quality automation.
• Seek and provide feedback on design and development.
• Make informed technology choices after due diligence and impact assessment.
• Understand product platforms, their components and the interactions between components, and develop expertise in one or more components over time.
• Write code that meets standards and delivers desired functionality using the selected technology.
• Drive design reviews, define interfaces between code modules, and apply existing technology to designs.
• Assess application performance and optimize it through design and best coding practice.
• Provide technical leadership and define, develop and evolve software in a fast-paced agile environment.
• Interact with global teams to develop consistent and synergized software for platforms.
• Actively provide inputs to improve established and new platforms.
• Design and build strong testing infrastructure to minimize dependency on hardware availability.
• Help resolve issues not defined in the framework by helping define strategies with the team.
