• Work with containerised workflows and CI/CD tooling (Docker, Jenkins, Git/Bitbucket).

Gen-AI & Engineering Productivity

• Use AI-assisted tools and agents for coding, code review, commits, and full git-flow automation.
• Validate AI outputs for correctness, security, and production readiness, with no sensitive data leakage.

Quality & Collaboration

• Participate in code reviews and contribute to testing and production stability.
• Diagnose and resolve production issues with a focus on root-cause prevention.
• Collaborate closely with product, design, QA, and platform teams.

Required Skills

• Strong backend experience in PHP/Laravel and/or Node.js.
• Solid frontend experience with a modern JavaScript framework (Vue.js preferred).
• Strong REST API and RDBMS fundamentals (MySQL/PostgreSQL).
• Experience integrating third-party systems and building secure, scalable services.
