- Work with SQL Server and Azure SQL for application data access, database development, queries, stored procedures, and performance optimization.
- Participate in application architecture, technical design, code reviews, and development standards.
- Develop unit and automated tests to maintain application quality.
- Use Azure DevOps for source-code management, work tracking, automated testing, CI builds, and deployment/release pipelines.
- Use Git for version control, branching, merging, and collaborative development.
- Troubleshoot application, API, database, integration, and production issues.
- Work closely with architects, product teams, QA, DevOps, and other engineering teams.
- Participate in Agile development activities including sprint planning, backlog refinement, stand-ups, reviews, and retrospectives.
- Produce clean, maintainable, secure, and well-documented code.
