• Push back on unclear requirements or over-complex solutions, proposing simpler and more scalable approaches when appropriate

• Ensure all delivered work includes appropriate documentation, references, and diagrams in Jira and Confluence

• Help define and evolve frameworks that support long-term platform stability and reduce single-threaded dependencies

• Support helpdesk workflows related to workplace applications, ensuring clean handoffs and clear ownership boundaries
