Establish realistic estimates for timelines and ensure that project remains on target to meet deadlines.
Contribute to code quality through unit testing, integration testing, code review, and system design using Python.
Assist in diagnosing and fixing system failures quickly when they occur in your area of expertise. This is limited to when the on-call rotation needs a subject matter expert to help troubleshoot an issue.
Design and implement RESTful API endpoints using the Python programming language.
