Key Responsibilities

The current team needs contributors who operate as role makers, not only role takers.
The common gaps documented are around initiative, ownership, communication, proactive problem-solving, and follow-through.
The Application Engineer role requires technical ownership, initiative, probing questions, participation in technical discussions, risk/dependency identification, and independent delivery of assigned work.
Observed Capability Gaps with Damilola and Sahil

Documented Concern Area

Limited initiative, limited confidence/authority to speak up, and not asking probing questions while working through assigned work.

Role-Based Impact

Creates delivery risk because the team needs an engineer who owns technical work, raises questions early, identifies blockers/dependencies, and contributes to design and implementation discussions.

Required Skill Set

Design, develop, test, deploy, optimize, and maintain application solutions aligned to business requirements.
Collaborate with stakeholders and technical team members to understand requirements, propose solutions, and complete work on time.
Write clean, scalable, maintainable code that follows organizational standards and engineering best practices.
Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve application functionality, performance, defect, and incident issues.
Actively contribute to Agile/Scrum ceremonies and artifacts, including backlog items, Definition of Ready/Done, PI planning, and sprint execution.
Identify technical risks, issues, dependencies, and technical enablers; escalate early and recommend mitigation options.
Ask probing questions, speak up during technical discussions, clarify ambiguity, and communicate progress/blockers clearly.
For senior roles, lead design discussions, support estimation, mentor junior engineers, contribute to architecture, and own end-to-end delivery.
5-7 years of application/software development engineering experience; advanced development practices, scalable solutions, complex troubleshooting, testing, mentoring, and process contribution.
7-10 years of application/software development engineering experience; SME-level expertise, complex solution delivery, stakeholder communication, mentoring, cross-functional collaboration, and scalable architecture.
Application/software development engineering experience; broad expertise, complex problem solving, technical leadership, mentoring, policy/process contribution, and recognized functional expertise.
