• Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent practical experience) in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field.
• Strong experience with Node.js (NestJS/Fastify) and TypeScript in production systems.
• Strong experience with React/Next.js and modern frontend engineering practices.
• Hands-on experience integrating LLM/Generative AI APIs into real product workflows.
• Proven experience with PostgreSQL, schema evolution/migrations, and performance-conscious querying.

• Translate product requirements into clean, maintainable, production-ready code.
• Implement and optimize LLM-powered workflows (prompting, semantic search, agentic flows, and RAG-style features).
• Evaluate AI-assisted development tooling (e.g., Copilot/Cursor/agent workflows) and apply it responsibly to improve delivery speed and code quality.
• Write and maintain meaningful automated tests across unit, integration, and E2E layers.
• Diagnose production issues, improve observability, and reduce regression risk through robust engineering practices.
• Participate actively in code reviews and uphold standards for readability, testability, and type safety.
• Contribute to GitHub Actions workflows that enforce build/test/deploy quality gates.
• Support safe deployments with migration sequencing, smoke testing, and rollback-aware release practices.
• Work with Terraform and AWS services (ECS/Fargate/ECR/CloudFront) to ship and operate services at scale.
