• Write clean, compilable code with unit tests that meet the team's quality standards.
• Ask questions about acceptance criteria and error states before starting build work.
• Identify and fix bugs in well-defined tasks, working with senior engineers on the right fix.
• Handle low-priority support tickets as a first responder and participate in on-call rotations under supervision.
• Run specific checks and scripts during incidents as directed.
• Add error and info logging that helps the team debug issues.
• Keep Jira updated daily, follow the Definition of Done, and raise flags immediately when work is at risk.
• Take part in standups, backlog grooming, and demos, including listening to stakeholder feedback.
• Use AI tools such as Cursor or similar, and validate their output before shipping.
• Update documentation when you find something inaccurate or missing.

• Willingness to learn which compliance requirements such as PCI or SOC apply to the systems you work on.
• Working knowledge of Git and pull requests, deploying to an existing CI/CD pipeline, and identifying when your commit caused a build failure.
