• Provide mentorship, code review and architectural direction to project team, and help shape quality products and solutions
• Operate effectively across a small portfolio of concurrent engagements, owning delivery end-to-end from clarification of requirements through deployment
• Apply mature AI-assisted development practices — prompt design, agent workflows, multi-file refactors, and disciplined human review of AI-generated code — as a core part of how they deliver
• Understand how to work in Agile teams to complete the committed backlog, and be equally effective when operating semi-autonomously on smaller engagements
• Execute user stories according to acceptance criteria and participate fully in estimating, sprint planning, software development life cycle activities, code reviews, testing, research, deployments and documentation creation
