Performance, Security, and Compliance

• Optimize backend services and front-end components for performance, scalability, and reliability.
• Implement authentication and authorization for applications (for example, OAuth2, SAML, or integration with enterprise identity providers).
• Ensure solutions comply with applicable security and data privacy standards and align with enterprise and federal governance requirements.

Collaboration and Agile Delivery

• Work as part of an Agile (Scrum or Kanban) team, collaborating with product owners, QA, DevOps, and business stakeholders.
• Participate in sprint planning, daily stand-ups, demos, and retrospectives; provide estimates and status updates on development tasks.
