How they ll work:

That means being comfortable forming a point of view: they pick sensible defaults, but bias toward researching and validating those choices (docs, benchmarks, small spikes) instead of guessing.

• Collaborate with product owners, business analysts, UX designers, and other engineers to translate business needs into scalable technical solutions
• Participate actively in Agile ceremonies, including daily stand-ups, reviews, and retrospectives
• Provide mentoring and technical leadership to other developers and contribute to coding standards and architectural decisions
• Troubleshoot and resolve production issues, ensuring minimal disruption to plant and transportation operations
• Ensure solutions align with enterprise security, scalability, and operational standards
