 * Work with senior engineers and architects to ensure solutions align with enterprise application, data, and integration strategies.
 * Maintain working knowledge and documentation of how data is used, transformed, and maintained across assigned applications.
 * Follow established development standards and contribute practical improvements to shared engineering practices.
 * Use version control, build, test, and deployment processes consistently and maintain complete implementation documentation.
 * Develop and execute unit tests and support system testing, user acceptance testing, performance testing, and defect correction.
 * Troubleshoot application and integration issues, identify root causes for routine problems, and implement lasting corrections within assigned scope.
 * Monitor and support production applications and integrations, including resolution of support tickets and post-go-live issues.
 * Participate in small- to medium-scale project work and deliver assigned work across the full project lifecycle.
 * Estimate assigned work, identify dependencies and risks, and communicate status effectively to technical and business stakeholders.
 * Participate in code reviews, knowledge sharing, and cross-functional team activities.
 * Identify opportunities to reuse existing capabilities, improve team efficiency, and simplify business or technical processes.

CORE ENGINEERING COMPETENCIES

 * Quality engineering & automated testing: Define test cases and maintain automated unit, component, and integration tests; use continuous-integration checks and support user acceptance, performance, and regression testing.
 * Responsible AI-assisted development: Use approved AI-assisted tools to support development, analysis, and documentation while validating accuracy, security, maintainability, and intellectual-property considerations; remain accountable for the final work.
 * Documentation & maintainability: Produce and maintain design notes, interface contracts, deployment instructions, runbooks, and support documentation; refactor within assigned scope to improve readability and maintainability.
 * Business & customer impact: Translate documented requirements into usable solutions and consider user experience, process impact, cost, supportability, and intended business outcomes in day-to-day decisions., Travel to other company sites, subsidiaries, conferences, or external meetings may be required, typically not more than 10% of the time.
