• Work closely with the Product Owner and other stakeholders, bringing the technical perspective into prioritisation discussions, making constraints and risks visible, and translating business needs into realistic technical choices.
• Collaborate with architects and the chapter, aligning your solutions with wider integration and data architecture, common engineering practices, technical quality standards, and ways of working while bridging target architecture with operational reality.
