Lead and mentor developers, helping them solve technical issues and improve delivery quality.
Work closely with designers, project managers, and client stakeholders to translate requirements into technical solutions.
Regularly meet directly with client stakeholders to discuss requirements, provide updates, and communicate effectively with non-technical audiences.
Support estimation, sprint planning, technical discovery, and solution design for new features.
Work directly with QA engineers to support test scenarios and ensure quality delivery.
Break down requirements into technical tasks and workplan development tickets.

Write and maintain technical documentation including onboarding guides, READMEs, coding standards, and architecture diagrams.
