You will be assigned a collection of tasks to work on depending on the stage of the different projects, the sprint goals and your current responsibilities at the time.

You might be involved in some activities such as coding, testing, requirement gathering, documentation, and architecture design, ... Since this is a small and quite new team, the tasks you’ll have to work on will be very diverse, allowing you to wear different hats, experience and learn about the different roles involved in SW development. This will also help you to discover in which areas you want to further develop your career.
