• Experience with Python.
• Experience with CI/CD (e.g. Jenkins) and container technologies (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes).
• Experience developing applications that interact with Large Language Models (LLMs), such as OpenAI GPT, Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, or similar generative AI systems.
• Solid understanding of the software development lifecycle from planning to testing and deployment.
• Responsible, team-oriented, and well-organized.
• Results driven. You don’t want to just write code, you want to ship code that is loved by customers.

Preferred:

• Experience with Django, OpenSearch/Elasticsearch, FastAPI, Flask, SQLAlchemy.
• Hands-on experience leveraging AI-assisted coding tools in daily workflows, including but not limited to GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or Windsurf.
• Familiarity with best practices for prompt engineering.
