You'll also leverage Amazon Web Services (AWS) to deliver secure, scalable, cloud-hosted solutions.
Beyond writing code, you'll help drive the team's success by facilitating Scrum ceremonies, supporting sprint execution, removing team-level impediments, and promoting continuous improvement. Working closely with developers, Product Owners, and customer stakeholders, you'll help ensure the team delivers high-quality software while maintaining a collaborative, mission-focused Agile environment.
