• Use AI-assisted development tools to support prototyping and development while reviewing and validating the resulting code.
• Collaborate with business stakeholders and technical colleagues to clarify requirements and translate them into working software.
• Contribute to secure, reliable, and scalable enterprise applications.
• Participate in sprint planning and deliver assigned work within established timelines.
• Follow software development lifecycle procedures, including documentation, ticket updates, code reviews, and change management.
• Learn existing applications, business workflows, and engineering standards, applying feedback as you develop.

• Experience with SQL Server development, including T-SQL and familiarity with stored procedures, views, and functions.
• Understanding of REST APIs and web services.
• Familiarity with Agile/Scrum development practices.

What Will Help You Stand Out

Be prepared to discuss an application or feature you personally built or materially contributed to: the problem it addressed, your specific responsibilities, a challenge you encountered, and how you verified that it worked.

Examples may come from employment, internships, academic projects, or independent development. A public GitHub portfolio is welcome but is not required.
