Responsibilities

• Write scripts that automate repeated routine work in CI/CD, testing and other processes where it makes sense.
• Build telemetry features on your own when they are needed.
• Make sure security policy requirements are applied during coding and configuration.
• Turn customer requirements into test objectives, then write and run test cases to find errors and defects across a component, using suitable tools for each kind of test.
• Track and analyze defects, run regression tests after every change, and review defects from earlier projects to prevent repeats.
• Find and fix performance and availability bottlenecks in applications.
• Carry out complex maintenance on applications without close supervision, including corrective, adaptive and perfective work and re-engineering.
• Track performance metrics, analyze logs, maintenance data and performance data, and report your findings.
• Judge which change requests are valid and feasible.
