- Create automation capabilities that streamline business processes and AI-assisted workflows.
- Collaborate with solution architects, product teams, and business stakeholders to define scalable technical solutions.
- Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and technical design sessions.
- Ensure solutions meet security, performance, reliability, scalability, and maintainability standards.
- Contribute to reusable frameworks, libraries, and integration patterns.
- Use AI-assisted development tools such as Codex in day-to-day engineering and review, test, and validate generated code.
- Diagnose and resolve production issues while considering both technical root causes and business impact.
Requirements
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong experience in Python.
- Proven experience designing and delivering production REST APIs.
- Strong understanding of API design principles, authentication, authorization, and enterprise integration patterns.
- Experience building and supporting cloud-native applications and services.
- Understanding of event-driven architectures and service-oriented architectures.
- Hands-on experience with automated testing, CI/CD, code reviews, and production troubleshooting.
- Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
- Ability to understand the business purpose and wider context behind a technical requirement.
- Ability to identify assumptions, explain technical trade-offs, and propose alternative approaches when appropriate.
- Sound technical judgment to determine when to proceed independently, when to request clarification, and when to challenge a requirement.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Nice to Have
- Experience with MCP (Model Context Protocol) or AI agent integration frameworks.
- Experience building enterprise automation solutions.
- Experience with front-end or UI development.
- Experience with Databricks, cloud platforms, or enterprise AI systems.
