  • You possess a deep understanding of full-stack web application development.
  • You have a passion for building AI-driven agents and tools, and you view AI as a catalyst for professional growth and skills amplification. You build with AI every day, and you own every line of code produced. You can spot when a model is confidently wrong, and you do not ship what you cannot explain.
  • You thrive at the intersection of rapid development velocity and strict security compliance.
  • You are not just a programmer; you get involved with the entire SDLC, from requirements analysis and planning to implementation, testing, deployment, and long-term maintenance.
  • You treat code reviews as engineering work rather than a formality.

  • Experience debugging failures in a running production system using logs, traces, and metrics

Additional Preferences:
  • Experience developing applications for cloud platforms such as Google Cloud Platform (GCP) or Amazon Web Services (AWS)
  • Broad understanding of AI/ML technologies with the ability to identify and implement diverse, architecturally sound solutions beyond basic LLM prompting
  • Exposure to networking and security concepts and technologies
  • Experience with containerization (e.g., Docker) and container orchestration with Kubernetes
  • An undergraduate or graduate degree in computer science or related field
