• Support ServiceNow release and upgrade cycles, including deprecation management and technical impact assessment.
• Identify and manage technical debt, making informed decisions around custom development versus OOTB functionality.
• Work closely with Solution and Enterprise Architects to ensure platform decisions align with the broader enterprise architecture.
• Provide technical input into backlog prioritisation, refinement, estimation, and solution design within a SAFe/Scrum environment.
• Conduct or support code reviews, development standards, and technical quality assurance.
• Mentor and support developers from a technical perspective where required.
• Translate complex technical options and trade-offs into clear, business-oriented recommendations for Product Owners, Project Managers, and other stakeholders.
