- Support minor changes within existing C#/.NET applications when required.
- Assist with simple Microsoft-based automations using tools such as Power Automate, SharePoint and Microsoft Graph API.
- Follow secure coding practices including OWASP principles, secrets management and safe API handling.
- Participate in Agile/Scrum ceremonies and maintain project work within Jira.
- Contribute to both internal RAM initiatives and billable client projects, including potential assignments directly with RAM clients.
