• Provide technical guidance, code reviews, and best practices to the team members to ensure high-quality deliverables.

• Support customers and internal stakeholders by troubleshooting issues, resolving queries, and providing effective solutions.

• Foster a culture of innovation, independent thinking, and proactive problem-solving within the team.

• Collaborate with teams operating in different time zones, demonstrating excellent communication and cross-functional teamwork skills.
