On a practical level, your role involves developing all server-side logic, defining and maintaining databases, and ensuring high performance and responsiveness to requests from the front-end. You will be responsible for ensuring that all transactions push through while keeping every customer's data secure.

Moreover, you must understand technical, product, and design strategy, as well as address cross-team challenges related to customers, quality, and security.

• Collaborate with the rest of the development team, design, and architecture team, in designing and developing software applications
• Uphold standards when writing code to ensure that the software is maintainable, robust, scalable, and testable to ensure optimal performance of software solutions 
• Conduct peer reviews to ensure that code is well written for optimal performance and adheres to set standards
• Maximize the technology stack, languages, frameworks, and design patterns, which will vary based on specific project needs
• Ensure compatibility and stability of software releases and that development deliverables are deployed with a smooth handoff for production

Coordinate and manage tasks:

• Align deliverables with project stakeholders and provide regular updates
• Attend regular stand ups and committee meetings as needed and ensure regular communication with assigned leads
• Communicate and document technical challenges, risks, and recommendations 
• Perform other related functions deemed necessary by the direct supervisor, as agreed by all parties
