• Participate in code reviews and apply static code analysis and security scanning tools to maintain code quality

• Collaborate with IT partners, business teams, and the broader IT matrix organization to understand requirements and use cases, support solution design and delivery of new digital capabilities, and contribute to the enablement and simplification of existing ones — translating requirements into user stories, epics, and sprint-ready tasks using Agile/Scrum methodologies

• Gather requirements, propose solution options, and communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders
