-   Apply **secure coding practices** and ensure solutions meet security, data protection and governance requirements.
-   Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior and intermediate developers.
-   Stay ahead of emerging technologies and identify opportunities to introduce better ways of working.

You’ll ideally have:

-   Strong full-stack development experience.
-   5+ years of experience in full-stack development using React, Angular, Vue, Node.js, Java, .NET, Python and .NET technologies.
