Design, develop, and maintain microservices-based applications on Kubernetes, improving scalability, reliability, and deployment speed
Work closely with product, ML, and engineering teams to enhance developer experience, close technology gaps with creative solutions, and increase customer adoption
Expand the product's reach to more customers, domains, and global markets while maintaining high engineering quality
Integrate AI into engineering workflows and decision-making — using AI-powered tools, automating processes, and applying AI-driven insights to improve how the team builds and ships software
Operate at a startup pace with a high degree of total ownership, even within a larger organization

10+ years of software engineering experience building scalable, high-quality applications
Expertise in Java, JavaScript and modern UI frameworks — React, Angular, or Lit (required)
Hands-on proficiency using AI tools (e.g., Copilot, Claude, or similar) in day-to-day development work is a must
Strong command of UI design principles, usability, cross-browser compatibility, and accessibility standards
Experience with REST, JSON, AJAX, and relational databases

Strong critical thinking and a track record of integrating AI into engineering processes, workflows, or decision-making
Excellent cross-functional collaboration skills and strong product sense
BS or higher in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
A constant thirst for learning and willingness to work outside your comfort zone
