  • Investigate source systems, data quality, permissions, authentication, rate limits, and edge cases, and recommend practical solutions.
  • Design migrations for reliability, scale, security, observability, idempotency, failure recovery, and safe reruns while following approved access and data-handling procedures.
  • Manage implementation workstreams, dependencies, risks, scope changes, technical decisions, approvals, validation evidence, and customer acceptance criteria.
  • Convert recurring delivery patterns into reusable components, documentation, automation, and playbooks, and provide technical feedback to Product and Engineering teams.

  • Experience with Git, code review, automated testing, release practices, and production deployment.
  • Strong debugging, analytical, problem-solving, written communication, and verbal English skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Evidence of working on production systems rather than only prototypes or proof-of-concept projects.
