• AI-Native Development: Use AI coding assistants (e.g., Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or Claude Code) to accelerate the delivery of high-quality, documented, and tested backend code
• API & Infrastructure Design: Build and maintain robust RESTful or GraphQL APIs and microservices using Python (FastAPI/Flask)
• Intelligent Automation: Implement AI-driven automation for backend tasks such as predictive scaling, anomaly detection in logs, and automated database query optimization
• Service Orchestration: Integrate specialized AI-powered third-party services (e.g., search, authentication, or automated security auditing) into our backend architecture
• System Reliability: Ensure high availability and performance by designing systems that handle high traffic and complex data workflows while leveraging AI for proactive maintenance

Required Technical Skills (Must Have)

• Languages: Proficiency in Python, for high-performance server-side logic
• AI Productivity Tools: Mastery of AI-augmented IDEs and CLI tools for code generation, refactoring, and debugging. Experience working with Claude, Cursor or similar AI tool
