• Troubleshoot, debug and resolve production issues in a timely manner
• Assist with AWS configuration and deployment tasks as needed
• Occasionally mentor more junior developers and share insights on design patterns and best practices

• Collaborative and supportive work environment.
• Work from home.
• The People's Pension scheme.
