- Successfully implement development processes, coding best practices, and code reviews.
- Operate in various development environments (Agile, Waterfall, etc.) while collaborating with key stakeholders.
- Proficiency with GitHub workflows, pull requests, issue tracking, and collaboration in a distributed or co-located team.
- Resolve technical issues, as necessary.
- Keep abreast of new technology developments.
- Complete bug fixes.
Requirements:
- Proficiency with data manipulation languages. Understanding of data modelling principles.
- Ability to work with complex data models.
