• Collaborate closely with the Software Architect, Technical Lead, QA Lead, and Delivery Lead to ensure technical backlog items align with architecture, quality, and delivery objectives.

• Act as the liaison between developers and stakeholders for surfacing and prioritising technical improvements, ensuring technical concerns are represented at the same level of visibility as product stories.
