- Ensure AI-enabled solutions comply with organizational requirements for security, privacy, protection of financial/client data, responsible AI, and AI governance.
- Troubleshoot production and non-production application issues and perform root-cause analysis.
- Participate in code reviews and contribute to application development standards and best practices.
- Write clean, maintainable, testable, secure, and performant code.
- Participate throughout the full Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), including requirements analysis, technical design, development, testing, deployment, and production support.
- Collaborate closely with developers, QA engineers, business analysts, product owners, and business stakeholders within an Agile development environment.
- Mentor and provide technical guidance to less experienced developers as appropriate.
