You will spend most of your day developing and testing your code. Every three weeks, you will be involved in the release activities., As a Senior Developer, you will work closely with your team to lead and guide projects to success. You'll have a hands-on role designing, developing, debugging, and deploying software solutions where you can leverage your expertise with code complexities.
