RESPONSIBILITIES:
This role focuses on feature development, executing automated pipelines, peer collaboration, and adhering to strict deployment processes. A Junior-to-Mid Level 2 Developer takes a well-defined Jira ticket, writes the code, submits a clean Merge Request, and reliably follows the established Change Request process to get it deployed using existing GitLab pipelines. They function primarily as builders and maintainers rather than system architects.

• Pipelines: Monitors and triggers GitLab CI/CD pipelines. Capable of reading pipeline logs to troubleshoot basic build/test failures before escalating to senior engineers. Preferred experience using GitLab Pipelines.
• AWS StackSets: Familiarity with managing resources across multiple accounts and regions using AWS StackSets.
• Git & Merge Requests: Submits functional code via Merge Requests (MRs). Actively participates in code reviews by addressing feedback promptly and reviewing peers' code for basic logic and syntax.
• Change Management: Drafts the initial framework for Change Requests (CRs). Gathers the necessary artifacts (test results, implementation steps) and prepares them for senior review and CAB approval.
• Agile (Jira/Confluence): Takes ownership of their sprint work in Jira (updating statuses daily). Contributes to Confluence by updating technical documentation, API specs, and team runbooks based on completed work.
Core Responsibilities
• Development & Maintenance: Write, test, and maintain cloud-native code and scripts (e.g., PowerShell, Bash, JSON) targeting AWS environments.
• Pipeline Execution: Run and monitor code through GitLab CI/CD pipelines, ensuring tests and security scans pass before merging.
• Process Adherence: Follow structured operational processes by drafting accurate Change Requests (CRs) for all production deployments.
• Documentation: Ensure all developed features have accompanying technical documentation and updated operational runbooks in Confluence.
• Collaboration: Work closely with senior developers to break down complex Jira stories into actionable technical tasks.
