## Description

Software Design and Delivery:

 * Own complex maintenance, defect resolution, customer-driven enhancements, and technical work from investigation and design through production support, with clear acceptance criteria and measurable outcomes.
 * Design, develop, and maintain full-stack applications using C#/.NET, Vue.js, JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML, CSS, REST APIs, and SQL Server.
 * Make sound design decisions that improve maintainability, extensibility, performance, testability, and reliability without unnecessary complexity.
 * Create and maintain technical documentation, including solution approaches, API contracts, data flows, operational guidance, and key design decisions.
 * Triage and resolve complex production issues, identify dependencies and risks early, and deliver fixes and small enhancements incrementally within Agile teams.

Quality, Security, and Reliability:

 * Build quality into the development lifecycle through automated unit and integration tests, peer reviews, static analysis, and appropriate end-to-end test support.
 * Apply secure- and privacy-by-design practices, including threat-aware design, secure coding, dependency management, secrets protection, and remediation of identified vulnerabilities.
 * Use only approved development and AI tools and follow applicable Secure Development Lifecycle, data handling, privacy, and compliance requirements.
 * Improve application observability and supportability through meaningful logging, monitoring, diagnostics, and root-cause analysis.
 * Identify recurring defects and support friction, perform root-cause analysis, and implement preventive improvements, reusable patterns, and standard work that reduce repeat incidents and backlog age.

Technical Leadership and Collaboration:

 * Lead technical discussions and code reviews, provide constructive feedback, and help teams converge on practical, supportable solutions.
 * Mentor engineers through pairing, design guidance, review feedback, and knowledge sharing while promoting ownership and independent problem solving.
 * Partner with Product Owners, Support, and QA Engineers to clarify customer impact, refine requirements, define testable outcomes, and surface technical tradeoffs before implementation.
 * Coordinate effectively across Product, Support, QA, DevOps, and Engineering teams, communicate status and risks clearly, and contribute to consistent engineering practices across products.
 * Contribute to architecture, platform, and engineering standards while escalating decisions that require broader alignment.

AI-Enabled Engineering and Continuous Improvement:

 * Use approved generative AI tools to accelerate analysis, coding, testing, documentation, code review, and troubleshooting while maintaining human accountability for quality, security, and correctness.
 * Evaluate AI-generated output for accuracy, licensing, data exposure, security, maintainability, and alignment with coding standards before use.
 * Create reusable prompts, patterns, guidance, or automations that improve team productivity and can be adopted safely by others.
 * Continuously learn emerging technologies and recommend adoption based on business value, risk, total cost, and long-term supportability.
