• Production Support: Troubleshoot production issues, perform root cause analysis (RCA), and implement fixes and preventive measures.
• Testing & Quality: Write clean, maintainable code with strong unit and integration tests.
• Collaboration: Work closely with product owners, QA, DevOps, and other engineering teams to deliver quality software on time.
