• Contributing to documentation, including user manuals and tutorials.
• Conducting code reviews.
• Resolving regressions, performance issues and software defects.
• Coaching and mentoring other team members.
• Contributing to a collaborative team culture.
• Contribute to continuous improvements to improve ways of working.
• Working with upstream open source development teams.
