Additionally, you'll help team members with peer reviews, collaborate closely with various teams, and clearly communicate ideas to stakeholders inside and outside the business.

In essence, your role will be dynamic and multifaceted, involving a mix of technical responsibilities, collaboration, and continuous improvement. You'll be instrumental in translating business requirements and technical designs into robust software solutions, participating in project requirements and design workshops, and ensuring compliance with Lotto NZ standards.
