• Perform code reviews, enforce coding standards, and ensure internal quality assurance for application components.
• Analyze and resolve complex production issues, often under tight timelines and high-pressure situations.
• Collaborate with product owners, business analysts, and stakeholders to understand and clarify requirements using tools such as Jira and Confluence.
• Support CI/CD pipelines and deployment processes in containerized and cloud-native environments.
• Mentor junior and mid-level developers and provide technical guidance to the development team.
• Continuously evaluate and recommend improvements to application architecture, performance, and security
