• Learn and grow with your colleagues through code reviews, pairing and shared knowledge, giving and receiving constructive feedback along the way.

• Work with Tech Leads, Delivery Managers and cross-functional colleagues to understand priorities, plan your work and manage dependencies.

• Raise risks, blockers and questions early, helping the team keep delivery moving at a sustainable pace.

• Test, validate and deploy infrastructure changes through CI/CD (continuous integration and continuous delivery) pipelines, making sure they are robust, well documented and ready for production.

• An understanding of DevOps practices and CI/CD, for example using GitHub Actions.
