• Design and implement data APIs and database-centric solutions.

• Analyze and optimize database performance.

• Develop and maintain batch processing jobs using technologies such as ETL/Informatica and Autosys.

• Translate business requirements, storyboards, and use cases into scalable and maintainable software solutions.

• Participate in application design, design reviews, and code reviews.

• Develop automated test cases and participate in regression testing.

• Contribute to engineering practices involving ATDD, CI/CD, and continuous delivery.

• Collaborate with distributed/global development teams.

• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to other team members.

• Contribute directly to the codebase while working with cross-functional teams and stakeholders.
