• Investigate and fix bugs, and contribute to ongoing application maintenance. 

• Design and develop new features within the existing application. 

• Work with the team to review code and deliver changes that are clear, maintainable, and appropriate for the application. 

• Use AI tools to support onboarding, code review, and development while taking ownership of the work and keeping generated code focused and reviewable. 

• Take part in Nortal’s Technical Interviewer Program, conducting technical interviews for your account and other accounts to help build the teams behind Nortal’s growth. 

What makes you a great fit  

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related field
