• Be a teammate, communicate well, show up when expected, and be available.
• Write secure code. Avoid introducing an OWASP vulnerability. Know how APIs are secured, sessions are handled, and data is validated properly.
• Work in an agile development model and participate, or even lead, sprint planning activities to break down epics, estimating accurately and consistently.
• Look for and surface dependencies that can create technical challenges, bottlenecks, or otherwise inhibit deliveries.
• Build reliable observability; monitor and log alerts to ensure the team is aware of, and can respond to, quality issues or outages.
• Help other teammates resolve complex problems or think through design/architecture challenges. Be available and responsive.
• Foster an excellent engineering culture based in trust, accountability, character, and honesty.
• Seek feedback and deliver constructive criticism (e.g., code reviews) in a tactful and empathetic manner; build others up and mentor without ego.
• Be proactive in moving to new cards/stories and contributing to the team’s forward momentum.
• Remediate security risks found via penetration tests and scans.
