AI-Assisted Development

• Utilize Claude Code and modern AI coding assistants to accelerate development, refactoring, testing, and documentation efforts.
• Design effective prompts and workflows that produce reliable, scalable, and production-ready code.
• Review, validate, and enhance AI-generated output to ensure quality, maintainability, and security.
• Generate automated testing frameworks, OpenAPI documentation, and developer resources using AI-assisted tools.
• Support adoption of AI-enabled software development life cycle (SDLC) best practices across the technology organization.

Security & Compliance

• Conduct application security assessments using tools such as Bandit, Semgrep, Snyk, and SonarQube.
• Implement OWASP-aligned secure coding standards, input validation, and secure API development practices.
• Manage secrets and credentials through Google Secret Manager and Cloud KMS.
• Ensure solutions comply with applicable enterprise security standards and regulatory requirements including SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA when required.

Qualifications/Requirements:

• Required: Fully bilingual in English and Spanish, with professional fluency in speaking, reading, and writing both languages.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent professional experience.
