• Collaborate closely with engineers, architects, and multi‑functional partners to translate technical requirements into high‑quality, well‑engineered work within the CDTS 2.0 framework.

• Support integration activities by onboarding business applications to the modernized CDTS 2.0 platform and ensuring seamless connectivity across systems.

• Fix, debug, and optimize platform components to improve performance, increase fault tolerance, and ensure secure data exchange.

• Contribute to infrastructure provisioning, environment configuration, and automated deployment workflows used across CDTS 2.0 environments.

• Adhere to engineering protocols, including code‑quality standards, robust documentation, automated testing, and compliance with architectural guidelines.

• Stay ahead with emerging technologies and modernization patterns relevant to event‑driven, cloud, and distributed systems, applying them to strengthen platform capabilities.
