• Investigate application, integration, API, data, and performance-related issues.
• Work with Operations and Engineering teams to maintain solution reliability, data integrity, and performance.
• Document technical designs, implementation decisions, troubleshooting outcomes, and key learnings.

Must Have

• Strong understanding of the software-development lifecycle, object-oriented development, integration patterns, and modern API architectures.
