- Acquire working knowledge of existing government applications and internal tools used within the team, as well as CI/CD (Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery) pipelines and processes, to effectively support day-to-day operations, coordinate with technical teams, and carry out hands-on configuration tasks where required.
