Collaborate with DevOps engineers on CI/CD, build, deployment, configuration, and release processes.
Integrate legacy C/C++, Python, shell, JavaScript, database, and modern web components through well-defined APIs and interfaces.
Refactor and modernize legacy code incrementally while preserving required behavior, compatibility, security, and operational continuity.
Analyze and understand existing legacy source code, interfaces, dependencies, build processes, and data flows before implementing changes.
Develop and maintain shell scripts for Linux-based automation, application support, data processing, deployment, and operational tasks.
Develop backend services, automation, data-processing utilities, and integration components using Python.
Develop, maintain, troubleshoot, and enhance software written in C and C++, including existing legacy components and interfaces.
Develop and troubleshoot applications in a Linux-based working environment.
Use Visual Studio Code (VS Code) for application development, debugging, Git workflows, and related engineering activities.
Create and maintain application and technical documentation.
Participate actively in Agile/Scrum ceremonies, including sprint planning, daily stand-ups, backlog refinement, estimation, sprint reviews/demonstrations, and retrospectives.
