- Supporting other developers in the realization of software
- Reviewing software from other developers
- Documenting software
- Assessing functional requirements for software feasibility and estimating and scheduling work based on this.
- Advising the client on architectural and realization choices
- Providing support with design, technical research, and analyses
- Automating the various tests, including automation (where possible) of the reports
- Working on the implementation of authentication protocols such as OpenID4VC, ISO mdoc/mDL, and OIDC
- Working on a Rust library that can be integrated into both mobile apps and backend code
- Proposing and implementing improvements
- AI-first development: systematically deploying AI code assistants and AI agents in writing, refactoring, testing, and documenting (Rust) software
- Critically verify and review AI-generated code and test for correctness, security, maintainability, and licensing conditions
- Establishing and further developing AI-supported working methods within the team and the CI/CD pipeline (e.g., AI-supported code review, test generation, and documentation), within the frameworks of information security and privacy.
- Sharing knowledge about and coaching team members in the effective and responsible use of AI tooling
- Participate in a self-organizing Scrum team, including refinements and design sessions
