Preferred Qualifications

• 7+ years of total software engineering experience.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in CS, Software Engineering, or related technical field (Master's in CS, AI/ML, or Data Science preferred).
• AI/ML Experience: Hands-on experience building/deploying AI, ML, or LLM features into production applications (APIs, prompt orchestration, RAG).
• Cloud-Native Tech: Containerization, Kubernetes, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and modern observability platforms.
• Enterprise Modernization: Demonstrated success modernizing legacy brownfield systems in distributed enterprise environments.
• Industry Domain: Experience in aerospace, industrial, manufacturing, transportation, or highly regulated environments.
