Solve problems and create value. Look at the entire flow of the product you are a part of. Get to know as much about it as possible and get a deep understanding of the full picture. You will probably be surprised at how many people, permanent as contractors, who only look narrowly at their little pond and solves issues without a general understanding of the entire business. Don't try to be cocky know-it-all, but humbly suggest when you see a better solution for a problem or spots a potential problem coming up in the horizon. When you have a good understanding of the entire business and the part your product plays in it, then you will also be better at seeing the parts where it hurts the most. Suggest to help there. Take on as much responsibility as you can handle. Be the one that solves the problems and creates value for the business, then you in turn also raise your own value.
