Assist with system changes: Drive updates to the way applications connect to and interact with databases.

Documentation: Produce clear and concise documentation to facilitate understanding and support of the system.
 Responsibilities

Analyse applications to understand their operation and database connectivity.
Implement small, low-risk changes, such as updating connections, enhancing error handling, or improving performance.
Collaborate with senior engineers and database specialists to understand and implement database improvements.
Participate in testing activities (unit, functional, regression) and assist with defect resolution.
Develop and maintain documentation, including design notes and runbooks.
Engage in agile ceremonies such as stand-ups, planning, and retrospectives.
Work collaboratively with various teams across the programme (e.g. data, testing, Model Office).
Be proactive in learning and development, making positive contributions to the team.
