• Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams, including product managers, designers, and QA engineers, to deliver high-quality software solutions.

Key Performance Indicators

• NodeJS Development: Deliver at least two fully functional and tested NodeJS modules per sprint, meeting acceptance criteria set by cross functional teams, consistently across four consecutive sprints.
• Microsoft Azure: Successfully deploy and maintain at least one NodeJS application on Microsoft Azure with 99.95% uptime and zero major security incidents over a three-month period.
• Microservices: Implement or refactor a minimum of three microservices for modularity and scalability, verified by a 20% reduction in service interdependency as measured in architectural reviews, within the next quarter.
• API Integration: Achieve 100% API endpoint documentation and integration test coverage for all new APIs, with less than 1% failed requests during integration, within each release cycle.
• Test-Driven Development (TDD): Maintain at least 80% unit test coverage and participate in 100% of code reviews for assigned user stories each sprint, with less than 5% critical defects reported post-release.
• CI/CD: Ensure that all new features or bug fixes are deployed through the CI/CD pipeline within 24 hours of merge, with a deployment success rate above 98% for three consecutive months.
• Troubleshooting: Resolve reported software defects or performance issues within an average of 48 hours from ticket assignment, reducing backlog of unresolved issues by 30% within a quarter.
• Documentation: Publish or update comprehensive documentation for all new features, APIs, or architectural changes within three days of production release, audited for completeness in monthly reviews.
• Collaboration: Attend and actively participate in at least 95% of scheduled cross-functional meetings and complete all assigned collaborative tasks on time for three straight sprints, with positive peer feedback.
