• Participate in functional, integration, regression, and performance testing cycles, providing technical troubleshooting and defect resolution.
• Support Hypercare activities and post-go-live stabilization efforts.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, upgrade runbooks, troubleshooting guides, and knowledge transfer materials.
