The engineer will contribute throughout the software development lifecycle, including coding, testing, deployment, and production support, with an emphasis on writing clean, maintainable code and following security and privacy best practices.

- Monitor and troubleshoot application and integration issues in development and production environments; document root cause and remediation steps.
- Contribute to Infrastructure as Code (IaC) templates for infrastructure, application, and database changes that are promoted through CI/CD pipelines.
- Support CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins) by updating build steps, reviewing logs, and helping resolve failed deployments.
- Follow CMS security, privacy, and DevSecOps requirements by implementing secure coding practices and completing required documentation and reviews.
- Triage operational issues using standard monitoring and analysis tools (e.g., AWS CloudWatch, Splunk) and escalate appropriately.
- Assist in remediating security vulnerabilities by applying patches/updates to application dependencies and supporting infrastructure under guidance.
