I’ve begun my work as backend developer and then proceed to a team lead. In my daily work, I was helping product owners to specify requirements for their tasks and maintain the backlog. Besides development I was working on task/project planning for my team (6 people), scrum process maintenance (sprints, daily scrum meetings, retro). I was responsible for architecture solutions and code quality (code style, code review).
