• Help write user stories for components, applications, or complex features.
• Help design solutions so that processes and applications work together for specific components and modules.
• Weigh trade-offs in component design against business requirements.
• Help turn high-level designs into detailed designs with mock screens, pseudocode and functional logic for specific modules and components.

• Review defects from past engineering work to prevent similar ones from returning.
• Find and resolve performance and availability bottlenecks in applications.
• Carry out complex maintenance on applications independently.
• Track and analyse suitable metrics to assess application performance.
