• Proactively utilize AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) for code generation, auto-completion, and intelligent suggestions to accelerate development cycles and enhance code quality
• Participate in AI-assisted code reviews, utilizing tools that provide real-time feedback, identify potential bugs, security vulnerabilities, and adherence to coding standards, contributing to a more thorough and efficient review process

What you will bring

• Experience in software development using programming languages such as Python or Go, and familiarity with scripting languages such as Bash or Groovy
• Hands-on experience implementing and managing delivery pipelines, with proficiency in CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Tekton, or GitLab CI

• Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills with a focus on root cause analysis
• Effective communication and collaboration skills
• Ability to adapt to and work in a fast-paced, agile environment with evolving technologies and processes
• Bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field

The following will be considered a plus:
