Ensure that activities are tracked and auditable by leveraging service enablement systems, logging activity in the relevant systems of record, and following change and release processes
Promptly respond to requests for engineering assistance from technical customers as needed. Provide engineering support, present ideas and create best-practice guidance materials. Strive to meet service-level expectations
Take ownership of personal development, working with line management to identify development opportunities
Work with limited guidance, independently and/or as part of a team on complex problems, potentially requiring close collaboration with remotely based employees and third-party providers
