• Collaborate with other engineers through code reviews, pair programming and technical discussions.
• Apply modern software engineering practices, including test-driven development (TDD) and Agile methodologies.
• Help improve development processes, software quality and engineering standards.
• Contribute to technical problem-solving across complex software and security challenges.
• Work collaboratively across the wider business, with opportunities to engage in customer support and other technical activities.

Essential Skills & Experience
