• 3–5 years of professional software engineering experience in an agile, fast-paced environment.
• Familiar with core AI concepts, understands high-level LLM behavior, and recognizes safe vs. unsafe use cases.
• AI Tooling & Practices: Uses AI to boost productivity, skilled in prompt engineering, and evaluates AI outputs responsibly.

• Frontend familiarity: Experience using React or Angular for modern web interfaces.
• Cloud & infrastructure basics: Hands-on with AWS services; familiarity with infrastructure as code is a plus.
• CI/CD mindset: Experience or interest in CI/CD pipeline setup and exploring AI-assisted DevOps tooling.
