  • Conduct thorough code and documentation reviews across T-SQL, .NET, and integration layers.
  • Partner closely with Project Managers/Scrum Masters and veteran SMEs to unblock technical hurdles and inform project roadmaps.
  • Collaborate across cross-functional groups, including Business Analysts, QA, DevOps, Cloud Engineering, and Change Advisory Boards (CAB).

 

Compliance & Governance:
