- Conduct design reviews, code reviews, and knowledge- sharing sessions to uplift team capability.

- Act as a technical escalation point, resolving complex system and integration issues.

2. Architecture & Solution Design (Java FSD Focus) :

- Design and implement scalable backend services using Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, and Microservices.

- Define application architecture including layered architecture, microservices patterns, API contracts, and data flow.

- Ensure performance, security, and resiliency considerations are built into the solution from design stage.

- Collaborate with product and business teams to translate functional requirements into technical designs.

3. Frontend Engineering (Angular / React) :

- Lead UI development using Angular or React, ensuring responsive, maintainable, and performant user interfaces.

- Define frontend architecture, component standards, and state- management approaches.

- Guide teams on UI/UX best practices, accessibility, and cross- browser compatibility.

- Ensure seamless integration between frontend and backend services.

4. Cloud & DevOps (AWS + CI/CD) :

- Drive cloud- native development on AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda, EKS/ECS, IAM, CloudWatch as applicable).

- Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins, GitHub/GitLab pipelines, enabling automated build, test, and deployment.

- Promote Infrastructure as Code and environment standardization.

- Ensure production readiness through monitoring, logging, and alerting strategies.

5. Agile Delivery & Tooling :

- Work hands- on in Agile/Scrum environments, contributing to sprint planning, estimations, and retrospectives.

- Use JIRA for backlog management, sprint tracking, and dependency management.

- Maintain Confluence for architecture documents, design decisions, and technical runbooks.

- Build, monitor, and refine dashboards to track delivery health, code quality, and system performance.

6. Stakeholder & Communication Excellence :

- Partner with Product Owners, Architects, QA, and Business Stakeholders to influence technical decisions.

- Clearly communicate trade- offs, risks, and solution approaches to both technical and non- technical audiences.

- Support release planning and production readiness discussions.

- Contribute to continuous process improvement across engineering and delivery practices.
