• Participate actively in agile ceremonies, including stand‑ups, planning, refinement, retrospectives, and demos.
• Contribute to technical documentation, implementation guides, support runbooks, onboarding materials, and operational procedures.
• Participate in code reviews, peer collaboration, and engineering practice uplift, helping to strengthen the overall maturity of the Platform Team.
• Work with security, risk, and governance stakeholders to ensure solutions align with enterprise standards, compliance obligations, and secure engineering principles.
• Support continuous improvement by identifying opportunities to simplify architecture, reduce technical debt, improve reliability, and accelerate delivery.
• Troubleshoot issues across the user interface, APIs, services, integrations, data access layers, environments, and deployment pipelines.
• Build strong working relationships with internal stakeholders and delivery teams to ensure platform solutions are practical, adoptable, and well supported.
• Contribute to estimation, planning, and prioritisation activities, helping the team deliver valuable outcomes in a sustainable way.
