This role involves leveraging AI-assisted coding tools to streamline development tasks such as drafting boilerplate code, refactoring legacy systems, and generating tests-while ensuring all generated code strictly adheres to enterprise security and performance standards. Beyond hands-on development, you will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, champion DevOps and continuous integration best practices, mentor junior engineers, and proactively address technical debt to continuously improve the platform.

• Develop and maintain scalable APIs, client interfaces, and backend services.
• Investigate, troubleshoot, and resolve complex technical issues while continuously improving application quality and maintainability.
• Utilize Claude Code, Gemini, and Rovo to draft boilerplate, refactor legacy systems, generate test coverage, and troubleshoot bugs.
• Work closely with DevOps practices to ensure smooth deployments across environments, leveraging CI/CD pipelines and automation.
• Ensure AI-generated code meets enterprise security standards, performance benchmarks, and best practices before merging.
• Partner closely with Product Managers, Designers, QA Engineers, and other stakeholders to validate requirements and ensure successful delivery.
• Mentor junior engineers through code reviews, technical guidance, and knowledge-sharing activities.
• Promote engineering best practices, including automated testing, code quality standards, observability, and secure software development.
• Proactively identify technical debt, propose improvements, and contribute to the continuous evolution of the platform.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 3-6 years of professional software engineering experience, with proven expertise in designing and developing modern web applications.
• Strong proficiency in frontend development using React (16-18) and modern JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystems, including state management, routing, and component-driven UI frameworks.
• Solid experience building, deploying, and maintaining backend services using Node.js and TypeScript.
• Hands-on experience designing and implementing cloud-native solutions using AWS services such as Lambda, ECS/Fargate, API Gateway, and related technologies.
• Experience working with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing frameworks, monitoring, and DevOps best practices.
• Proven experience delivering large-scale enterprise software products in an agile development environment.
• Proven experience using advanced AI coding agents (specifically Claude Code, Gemini, Rovo, or GitHub Copilot) in a professional environment.
• Strong understanding of software design principles, system architecture, security best practices, and performance optimization.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders across global teams.
