• Break down project requirements into user stories, technical tasks, and actionable engineering items.
• Estimate development effort, including story points, resource requirements, and project timelines.
• Determine the required engineering resources based on project scope and technical complexity.
• Work closely with Product, Lead Developers, Senior Engineers, and other stakeholders to define the appropriate technical approach.
• Prepare the technical foundation and requirements so Developers/Engineers can start development effectively.
• Support Developers/Engineers in resolving technical blockers, requirement clarification, and implementation challenges.
