• Coordinate technical work across disciplines, communicate progress and risks, and help clarify decisions and responsibilities.
• Share technical knowledge, support colleagues’ development and contribute to a collaborative team environment.

Profile/Skills

• Experience in software engineering, including designing, building, testing or maintaining software.
• Understanding of the software development lifecycle and secure engineering practices.
• Experience working with data, analytics or data-enabled products; awareness of data quality, privacy and governance considerations.
