• Work hand-in-hand with stakeholders (Business Analysts, Royalties team, ML Engineers…) to understand their needs and deliver fit-for-purpose solutions

• Participate in agile ceremonies: quarter planning, sprint planning, daily standups and retrospectives

• Propose and implement improvements to existing stack or pipelines based on your technical watch
