You will also design the developer experience and life cycling of plugins for other teams contributing to the portal, making it easy to create, debug, test, release and lifecycle plugins.
You will be a member of an agile team capturing and completing work using backlog items and tasks on a sprint basis. You will work closely with your team to build up our development portal. You will also be responsible for maintaining and updating the portal as new tools and resources are added as well as supporting our users.
