  • Build, deploy, and operate services on AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, and related services)
  • Write and maintain unit and integration tests
  • Review, validate, and improve code generated with AI tools—never blindly accept AI output
  • Identify technical risks, bottlenecks, and opportunities for improvement

  • Excellent problem-solving, debugging, and communication skills
  • Highly proactive and self-directed; able to unblock yourself without waiting for instructions
AI & Developer Tooling Expectations

  • Experience with AI coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor)
  • Using AI within IDEs such as VS Code or PhpStorm
  • Critically reviewing, testing, and refining AI-generated code
  • Understanding risks, edge cases, and limitations of AI-assisted development
