• Assist with debugging API requests, data flows, and integration issues.
• Work with SQL databases to retrieve, update, and validate application data.
• Write reusable functions, components, and application logic.
• Help implement validation, error handling, and reliable application behavior.
• Support the development of automated workflows and operational improvements.
• Collaborate with engineers to understand technical requirements and implementation plans.
• Participate in technical discussions and contribute ideas for solving problems.
