Program and deliver high-quality code to contribute meaningfully to the implementation of those Business Goals & Objectives. Design application’s technical infrastructure (OCP, Firebase, GCP) across front-end, back-end, cloud services, and data stores using appropriate databases, programming languages (React, Angular, TypeScript, Python, SQL), utilities, and testing approaches. Coordinate complex application programming activities, run code review and code merge sessions with the wider team to ensure the project stays on track to meet objectives. Leverage code management and CI/CD processes to translate design concepts and patterns into implemented solutions, and work with relational database management systems and vector database systems.
- Effective Communications – Recommend, plan, and implement solutions to technical challenges, and bring the right people together to solve problems and remove bottlenecks. Acknowledge ownership when work is assigned and clarify next steps. Provide a clear visibility into work in progress, what’s completed, what’s next, and any blockers, resulting in less rework, smoother handoffs and no surprises. Comfortable explaining technical concepts to executive level management. Strong technical writing skills.

- Full-stack engineering fundamentals: You have experience across the full Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) and are comfortable delivering solutions across front-end, back-end services/integrations, and production-ready engineering practices (e.g., code reviews, testing, CI/CD, monitoring, and operational readiness). You uphold strong coding standards (e.g., SOLID) and have required experience with React, TypeScript, Python, Git, and RESTful web services. You bring genuine curiosity and a self-teaching mindset, proactively learning and applying emerging technologies (e.g., Unreal Engine (XR/VR), Azure Databricks) to real business problems. You can demonstrate experience and ability to collaborate effectively with diverse teams in Agile Sprint/Kanban environments.
- Your influence makes an impact. You know that relationships and networks are essential to success. You inspire outcomes by making yourself heard.
