• Collaborating with Product: Working closely with product managers to understand requirements and provide clear technical input
• Supporting your teammates: Sharing knowledge, pairing with less experienced engineers, and contributing to a positive team culture
• Living agile: Engaging fully in ceremonies, contributing to continuous improvement, and keeping delivery moving
