AI Agentic-First Engineering

• Develop using AI-assisted workflows with tools such as GitHub Copilot and Claude to accelerate coding, refactoring, documentation, and test generation.
• Leverage agentic patterns for multi-step tasks such as feature scaffolding, modernization efforts, UI generation, dependency analysis, and CI/CD interactions, with appropriate human oversight.
• Apply AI-assisted pull request reviews and security scanning, validating outputs with strong engineering judgment and secure-by-design principles.
• Continuously evaluate and improve the use of AI tools across the SDLC to increase throughput, quality, and developer experience.

Quality, Delivery & Operations

• Quality Engineering: Own testing strategy, including unit and integration testing using JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks (e.g., Jest, React Testing Library), along with mobile end-to-end testing approaches where appropriate.
• CI/CD & Automation: Shape mobile CI/CD pipelines supporting React Native builds and deployments using tools such as Fastlane, CircleCI, or equivalent.
• Observability & Performance: Instrument applications using tools such as Firebase and New Relic to monitor performance, crash rates, and user behavior.
• Security by Design: Follow secure coding practices and address vulnerabilities proactively; familiarity with PCI and SOX environments is beneficial.
• Technical Leadership: Lead design reviews, mentor team members, and enforce high standards for code quality and maintainability.
• Operate What You Build: Practice full ownership from development through production, supporting a build-it/run-it model.
