- Take ownership of assigned components from requirement understanding to deployment.

- Write clean, efficient, reusable, and well-documented code following engineering standards.

- Participate actively in design discussions and propose technical solutions.

- Review code written by peers and provide constructive feedback.

- Debug complex issues and contribute to performance optimisation.

- Develop and integrate REST APIs and backend/frontend components.

- Ensure adequate unit and integration test coverage for owned modules.

- Collaborate closely with QA, Product, and Design teams to deliver high-quality releases.

- Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively within a team.

- Clear communication and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Skills :

- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS / Azure / GCP).

- Exposure to CI/CD pipelines, Docker, or containerisation.

- Familiarity with automated testing frameworks and test-driven development.

- Understanding of design patterns and scalable system design.

- Experience working in client-facing delivery environments.

- Interest in mentoring junior engineers or taking on technical ownership roles.

Success in This Role Looks Like :
