• Use coding assistants and agentic coding practices as part of the development and delivery process
• Establish and share reusable components, agent capabilities, and engineering patterns that improve the speed, quality, reliability, and consistency of future AI delivery
• Provide technical leadership to other developers by guiding design decisions, reviewing implementation approaches, mentoring on best practices, and helping establish engineering standards

What you will bring:

• Minimum Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent work experience
• 7+ years of professional software development experience, including experience in a senior, lead, or highly independent developer role
• Strong programming experience in one or more modern application development languages such as TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, C#, or Java
• Experience designing, building, testing, deploying, and supporting production software
• Experience building backend services, APIs, integrations, or full-stack application features
• Experience designing and building cloud-based applications on at least one major cloud platform such as Azure, GCP, or AWS
• Experience providing technical leadership through design guidance, code review, mentoring, or establishing engineering standards
• Experience applying coding assistants or agentic coding practices in structured software delivery workflows

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building AI-enabled applications, including agents, tool-calling workflows, orchestration layers, or multi-agent systems
• Experience integrating models, tools, data sources, APIs, and user workflows into reliable application experiences
• Familiarity with emerging AI patterns such as MCP, A2A, agent frameworks, or context engineering approaches
