  • You can work with the leadership team on identifying training needs within your team.
  • You can work with our product owners in refining, designing, and architecting solutions in keeping with, or challenging, existing patterns and technologies.
  • You can spot and remediate risks in the SDLC.
  • You have familiarity with architectural decision records.
  • You have strong documentation skills in generating acceptance criteria, test plans, and test cases.
