  • Participate in third-party application demonstrations and authorization reviews.
  • Perform full-cycle software engineering activities, including design, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance.
  • Partner with DevOps engineers on CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) initiatives.
  • Interpret technical specifications and translate requirements into code and design documentation.
