The Job:

• Translate business and functional requirements into secure, performant, and maintainable code.
• Develop microservices, APIs, and cloud-native solutions following enterprise patterns.
• Ensure adherence to coding standards, secure development lifecycle (SSDLC), and test-driven development.

• Drive automation-first approaches, embedding CI/CD pipelines and continuous testing.
• Conduct code reviews and implement refactoring strategies to maintain technical debt at optimal levels.
• Contribute to design documents, technical specifications, and solution reviews with architects and product owners.

• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers to uplift technical capabilities across the team.
• Collaborate with DevOps, QA, product, and business teams to align on delivery outcomes.
• Act as a technical lead in specific projects or modules, providing direction and troubleshooting expertise.

• Support deployments, monitoring, and post-release stability using observability tools and SRE practices.
• Proactively address performance bottlenecks, security vulnerabilities, and system integration challenges.
• Contribute to incident root-cause analysis and post-mortems to strengthen resilience.

• Research, evaluate, and adopt emerging technologies to improve development efficiency and product capability.
• Champion engineering practices that balance innovation, cost optimization, and long-term maintainability.
• Participate in proof-of-concept (PoC) initiatives and innovation sprints aligned with business priorities.

• AI-Augmented Development: Skilled in using AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Tabnine) to accelerate productivity and reduce repetitive coding.
• Intelligent Testing & QA: Ability to integrate AI-driven test generation, defect prediction, and automated regression strategies.
• Code Quality & Security Insights: Familiar with AI-powered code review, vulnerability detection, and compliance validation tools.
• Data-Driven Engineering: Understanding of how AI can enhance telemetry, observability, and predictive maintenance of applications.
