• Developing site maps, workflows, wireframes, prototypes, and other design artifacts as needed
• Coordinating with cross-functional teams to support build, deployment, configuration, and ongoing support
• Providing technical leadership, including peer code reviews and mentorship within the development team
• Testing, debugging, and validating applications using both automated and manual test cases
• Clearly communicating project status, risks, and issues to team members and leadership
• Working with internal teams and external vendors to define features and drive product design
• Participating in Agile development processes and contributing to continuous improvement initiatives
• Supporting special projects and additional duties as assigned
