Deliver secure by design, easy to monitor, maintain and easy to diagnose assets that can be used reliably and predictably. Keep the assets updated in keeping with the advances in underlying technologies. Drive the creation of patterns, standards and documentation to align the development and test teams to productive and efficient ways of working. Be responsible for ongoing improvements in productivity by leveraging commonly understood patterns. Write automated tests to assess suitability of built components and compliance to D G standards on performance, security and other non-functional requirements. Contribute and adhere to guidance and standards for exception management and error handling frameworks to deliver a good user experience. Collaborate with other developers, architects and product owners to create robust end-to-end solutions. To act as a positive role model to colleagues, partners and customers. Bring knowledge of hands-on experience of implementation of standards and methods using the AWS suite of integration technologies.
