• Auto-generate Jira stories, system requirements, and technical documentation with AI-assisted workflows and defined quality gates.
• Implement AI-assisted code scaffolding and integrate guardrails into CI/CD pipelines; own unit and integration tests for delivered features.
• Develop and operate Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) components, lightweight intelligent agents, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) or equivalent integrations to support engineering workflows.
• Ensure human-in-the-loop checkpoints, prompt and policy guardrails, traceability, and data access controls for AI outputs.
• Monitor and optimize AI feature reliability, latency, and cost; implement feature flags and safe rollouts.
• Prepare runbooks, dashboards, alerts, and participate in incident response and post-incident reviews as required.
• Collaborate with Product, UX, QA, Security, and Cloud Ops to define acceptance criteria, security controls, and release plans.
• Deliver features end-to-end within scope: design, implementation, testing, deployment, and documentation.

Who You Are - Qualifications

Education:

• BS or MS in computer science or a related engineering discipline.

Years and Type of Experience:

• 3+ years as a Software Engineer, Full Stack Engineer, Test Automation Engineer, or comparable role.
• Demonstrated delivery of production-grade features or automation that improved developer productivity or reduced manual effort.
• Experience working with distributed systems, APIs, and service-level design at project scope.

Key Skills, Knowledge & Capabilities:

• Strong practical system design and implementation skills appropriate to project scope.
• Familiarity with Git-based workflows, REST/gRPC APIs, and containerization (Docker); exposure to Kubernetes is a plus.
• Hands-on with at least one cloud provider (AWS/Azure/GCP) and basic Infra-as-Code (Terraform/ARM) concepts.
• Experience with CI/CD tooling (Jenkins/GitHub Actions/GitLab) and creating automated pipelines.
• Practical knowledge of RAG pipelines, embedding stores or vector databases, prompt design, and retrieval quality considerations.
• Testing and observability discipline: unit/integration tests, logging, metrics, and tracing for automation features.
