• Implement and advocate for best practices in version control, testing, and release management to support a reliable development lifecycle.
• Facilitate UAT cycles, collaborating with business users to validate enhancements and ensure solutions meet functional and compliance requirements.
• Provide ongoing support for assigned systems, managing incidents, triaging requests, and resolving issues quickly to maintain high system performance.
• Own change management processes for supported platforms, including SOX-compliant documentation, JIRA tracking, and adherence to ITGC standards.
