• Thrive in a fast-paced delivery environment with clear priorities and changing timelines.
• Read requirements and design inputs, internalize business rules, and implement them in service code, APIs and configurationnot as one-off scripts unless that is explicitly the deliverable.
• Partner with Client to clarify scope and rules; raise questions early and document decisions, assumptions, and gaps.
• Uphold coding standards and team conventions (reviews, formatting, module boundaries, logging and audit expectations); implement and maintain automated tests and document test evidence for handoff to QA where required.
• Work with the testing team through UAT; provide timely fixes, clarifications, and retest support through completion of the cycle.
• Support UAT alongside multiple vendors when the program requires it (defect triage, environment checks, data/setup guidance within policy).
• Join calls in EST morning hours with PM, Client, and stakeholders as scheduled.
• Demonstrate accountability: proactive communication, transparent reporting, and timely escalation of technical and functional risks or blockers.
• Establish and maintain effective relationships with engineering, leadership, and client stakeholders.

Good to have

• Depth in the second stack ( Spring Boot, GO).
• OAuth2 / JWT / API gateway integration patterns aligned with platform standards.
