• Code is maintainable, tested and consistent with team standards, with defects identified and resolved early in the delivery cycle.
• Assigned features and components are implemented in alignment with documented cloud, infrastructure, security and scalability patterns.
• Technical documentation, test evidence and implementation notes are clear enough to support handoff, operations and future maintenance.
• Incidents, defects and support requests are analysed with appropriate urgency and escalated when risks or blockers emerge.
• Knowledge of the business domain, platform and engineering practices grows through hands-on delivery and active participation in the team.

• Develop new solutions, features and components for assigned engineering programs and platform initiatives.

• Work with technology partners to ensure configuration and custom components meet application requirements and performance goals.
• Analyze technical requirements for assigned work and recommend pragmatic engineering solutions with guidance from senior team members.
• Document and verify system components, applications, system infrastructure, security, integration and operability designs associated with assigned work.

• Use approved AI-assisted development tools for defined tasks such as code suggestions, test scaffolding, documentation drafts and refactoring support.
• Validate generated outputs through unit tests, peer review, secure coding checks and comparison against requirements before relying on them.
• Never use sensitive or restricted information in AI prompts unless explicitly approved by policy and project guidance.
• Capture useful examples or issues encountered with AI tools and share them with the team to improve safe, repeatable practices.

• Adhere to enterprise frameworks, methodologies, secure coding practices and project delivery standards relevant to software engineering.
• Deliver effective and efficient solutions that meet key project milestones and quality expectations within assigned scope.
• Comply with defined technology delivery practices, including documentation of system requirements, estimates and implementation details as required.
• Identify risks, defects, blockers and non-standard activities early, and escalate appropriately.
• Support continuous improvement and automation opportunities within the engineering practice.

• Participate fully as a member of the team, supporting a positive work environment that promotes service, quality, innovation and teamwork.
