  • Debug and resolve complex technical issues across backend services.
  • Integrate AI development tools into your daily workflow to optimize code generation, refactoring, and testing.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand requirements and translate them into technical solutions.
  • Participate in code reviews, focusing on readability, security, and performance.

Required Skills & Qualifications

  • Experience: 8-10 years of professional software development experience.
  • Languages: Strong proficiency in at least one of the following: TypeScript/JavaScript, Java, or Python. Experience with GraphQL and AWS is preferred.
  • Core Engineering: Strong understanding of RESTful API design, databases, and microservices architecture.
  • Problem-Solving: Exceptional troubleshooting skills; a proactive "detective" mindset when bugs arise.
  • AI-Driven Development: Practical familiarity with AI coding assistants and an understanding of how to prompt and validate AI-generated code effectively.
  • Soft Skills: A strong desire to learn, adapt to new technologies, and communicate complex ideas clearly. Attention to detail is essential.
