• Participate in code reviews, ensuring maintainability, code quality, test coverage, and security best practices.
• Support QA with test planning, data setup, defect resolution, and performance validation.
• Follow established SDLC practices, documentation standards, change-management procedures, and modern software design principles.

Collaboration & Leadership

• Drive best practices for architecture, coding standards, and testing methodologies.
• Mentor junior developers and provide technical guidance across the team.
• Work closely with product leaders, developers, analysts, and business teams to deliver high-quality solutions.
• Contribute to technology roadmap discussions, architectural decisions, and best-practice development standards.
• Participate in planning meetings and collaborate in sprint planning, prioritization, and retrospectives.
