This role requires strong backend engineering judgment, strong JVM backend experience, preferably with Kotlin and Java, and the ability to turn fast-moving AI capabilities into secure, scalable, observable, production-ready services. Hands-on experience integrating AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex) into the SDLC - comfortable using them for scaffolding, refactoring, and test generation, and skilled at critically reviewing their output rather than accepting it blindly.
