• Work closely with shared infrastructure teams (e.g., SETI, Toolchain teams) to align infrastructure standards and best practices
• Contribute to and maintain documentation using Confluence, ensuring knowledge sharing and transparency across teams
• Utilize Jira for backlog tracking, sprint planning, and progress monitoring within Agile frameworks
• Actively participate in Scrum, Kanban, and scaled Agile (ART) environments, contributing to continuous delivery practices
