• Participate in Agile ceremonies, contribute to sprint planning, and support delivery of team commitments.

Who You Are:

You analyze multiple and diverse sources of information to define problems accurately before moving to solutions. You make good and timely technical decisions that keep the team moving forward even under ambiguity or incomplete information. You act with a clear sense of ownership and take personal responsibility for decisions, actions, and failures.
