• A commitment to clean, maintainable, and well-tested code, with experience building and improving automated testing frameworks.
• Experience mentoring engineers, providing technical guidance, and contributing to a culture of engineering excellence.
• Confidence using AI-assisted development tools and agent orchestration workflows to deliver complex features, refactoring initiatives, and testing strategies.
