- Strong working knowledge of object-oriented concepts, software design principles, algorithms, data structures, and design patterns.
- Hands-on experience with modern application development using cloud services, APIs, databases, and CI/CD delivery practices.
- Practical experience building or integrating AI, machine learning, Generative AI, or data-driven capabilities into software products; direct experience with Azure OpenAI, Databricks, LLM APIs, RAG, embeddings, or model evaluation is strongly preferred.
- Comfortable working within a fast-paced, collaborative Agile/Scrum product environment with product owners, designers, architects, engineers, governance, and product success partners.
- Able to follow architecture direction, contribute engineering design input, and make sound technical tradeoffs while remaining focused on hands-on asset development rather than architecture ownership.
- Strong problem-solving, debugging, communication, and documentation skills.
- Excellent English communication skills and ability to work effectively with distributed teams across geographies and time zones.
- Smart, versatile, and passionate about delivering high-quality code and learning new technologies and languages.
