• Hands‑on experience using AI coding assistants and large language model tools (for example Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, or ChatGPT/Claude for technical work) as part of building, debugging, or documenting software, and the judgment to review and verify their output.
• Ability to investigate ambiguous problems independently and communicate findings and recommendations clearly, including to non‑technical staff.
• Strong written communication skills and a consistent practice of documenting work.
• Demonstrated attention to detail and sound judgment in handling sensitive information.
• Ability to work on‑site at our Long Beach location.
