- Assist with data modeling, database design, and data structuring to support scalable and maintainable solutions.
- Collaborate with senior engineers, business stakeholders, and IT delivery partners in a cross-functional, FDE model to move solutions from concept to production.
- Support testing, deployment, and post-release sustainment activities, including defect resolution and minor enhancements.
- Follow enterprise standards and controls (e.g., security, access, change/release, testing), including additional controls for systems subject to ITGC/SOX where applicable.
- Learn and apply enterprise platforms and emerging AI-enabled capabilities aligned to the broader application ecosystem.
What You Will Need:
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field.

- Experience using source control tools such as GitHub.
- Exposure to SDLC practices, including development, testing, deployment, and sustainment.
