• Approximately 5+ years of professional software development experience.
• Strong backend development experience with Java, C#, Python, Node.js, TypeScript, or similar.
• Experience designing REST APIs, event-driven services, integrations, and distributed systems.
• Strong knowledge of relational and non-relational databases.
• Experience with cloud platforms such as Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud.
• Understanding of software architecture, security, scalability, performance, and maintainability.
• Hands-on experience with Git, automated testing, CI/CD, containers, and modern development practices.
• Ability to investigate unfamiliar systems independently and become productive quickly.
• Strong problem-solving, communication, and stakeholder-management skills.
• Ability to work directly with clients and manage evolving or incomplete requirements.
• Practical experience using AI coding tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, ChatGPT, or similar.
• Valid work permit.
• AI engineering capabilities including understanding LLM-based application architecture, prompt engineering, structured outputs, tool calling, agents, and RAG patterns.
• Ability to evaluate AI-generated code for correctness, security, performance, and maintainability.
• Experience using AI tools to accelerate the full software-development lifecycle.
• Ability to move from idea or natural-language requirement to working prototype without compromising production standards.

Nice to have:

• Frontend experience with React, Angular, Vue.js, or similar frameworks.
• Experience with Kubernetes, Docker, serverless platforms, or microservices.
• Knowledge of enterprise platforms such as Salesforce, Microsoft, Creatio, or comparable systems.

• Work directly with clients and business stakeholders to understand challenges and translate them into software.
• Rapidly prototype, validate, and roll out new solutions.
• Take end-to-end ownership from requirements discovery to deployment and operational support.
• Integrate enterprise platforms, cloud services, databases, APIs, and AI capabilities.
• Use AI-assisted development tools for code generation, refactoring, testing, debugging, documentation, and experimentation.
• Apply rapid "vibe coding" responsibly, maintaining security, maintainability, testing, and engineering quality.
• Build AI-enabled applications using LLMs, agents, retrieval-augmented generation, tool calling, and structured data.
• Establish reusable development patterns, accelerators, templates, and engineering standards.
• Support CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, monitoring, observability, and production troubleshooting.
• Collaborate with architects, DevOps engineers, data engineers, frontend developers, and client delivery teams.
• Communicate technical decisions, trade-offs, risks, and recommendations clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.

Valid work permit required.
