• Demonstrate proficiency in at least one modern backend programming language (C#, Python, Node.js, or Go) to build, maintain, and integrate APIs and automation tools.

• Write production-quality code to extend pipeline functionality, improve platform reliability, and implement custom solutions beyond basic scripting (e.g., PowerShell or Bash).

• Collaborate with teams to integrate DevSecOps principles, implementing security gates (e.g., Veracode, Kyverno, Palo Alto) and pre- and post-validation checks in pipelines.

• Build small APIs and automation tools to enhance platform reliability, reduce toil, and improve developer workflows.

• Monitor and optimize platform health using Dynatrace and other observability tools.

• Work on hybrid platform initiatives to streamline delivery pipelines and ensure consistency between cloud and on-premises systems.

• Enhance hybrid system observability by addressing monitoring gaps and implementing disaster recovery and failover strategies across cloud and on-premises systems.

• Work cross-functionally with teams like network/security engineers, DBAs, and application developers to ensure seamless integration across hybrid environments.

• Participate in Agile ceremonies, including sprint cycles, mob programming sessions, and regular demos of platform improvements.
