Job responsibilities

• Design, develop, and deliver full stack software solutions across frontend (React) and backend (Node.js/TypeScript, Python) services, applying strong problem-solving skills to break down complex technical challenges.
• Engage directly with stakeholders and product owners to gather requirements, clarify scope, and ensure technical solutions align with business objectives.
• Lead development planning activities including backlog refinement, sprint planning, effort estimation, and technical roadmap definition, ensuring the team delivers incrementally and predictably.
• Drives team adoption of enterprise-authorized AI-assisted engineering practices within the work environment to improve code quality, delivery speed, and operational outcomes (e.g., AI-assisted code review/refactoring, test strategy acceleration, incident/root-cause analysis support), while establishing consistent validation standards (secure coding, peer review, automated testing) and promoting reuse of effective patterns across the team.
• Applies knowledge of tools within the Software Development Life Cycle toolchain, including enterprise-authorized AI-assisted development and automation capabilities, to improve the value realized by automation.
• Develop secure, high-quality production code and review peers' work to maintain consistency, reliability, and adherence to engineering standards.
• Identify opportunities to eliminate or automate remediation of recurring issues to improve the overall operational stability of applications and systems.
• Maintain clear and organised documentation including technical designs, architecture decisions, and runbooks, ensuring knowledge is shared and accessible.
• Leverage AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, AI code review assistants) to improve productivity, code quality, and delivery speed, and champion their effective adoption within the team.
• Participate in communities of practice across Software Engineering to drive awareness and adoption of modern tooling, patterns, and best practices.
• Mentor and support junior engineers

Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills

• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Data Science, or related disciplines
• Formal training or certification in software engineering concepts and 5+ years of applied experience delivering production software.
• Hands-on practical experience across the full Software Development Life Cycle, including system design, application development, testing, CI/CD pipelines, and operational support.
• Strong proficiency in frontend development with React (including state management and testing with Jest/React Testing Library).
• Advanced knowledge in backend development using Node.js and TypeScript to build RESTful APIs, along with strong experience in writing and maintaining comprehensive unit, functional, and integration tests.
• Demonstrated ability to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders, translating business requirements into actionable technical plans.
• Experience working collaboratively in agile teams and participating in Scrum ceremonies (stand-ups, retrospectives, sprint planning); experience facilitating or running ceremonies.
• Demonstrated experience leading effective use of approved AI-assisted software development tools (e.g., for coding, code review, test acceleration, troubleshooting) with the ability to set team expectations for validating AI outputs for correctness, performance, and security.
• Strong understanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows, including data sensitivity considerations, secure handling of inputs/outputs, and adherence to resiliency and security expectations; experience coaching engineers on safe, compliant adoption within delivery practices
• Experience with databases such as MySQL or similar, along with exposure to cloud platforms and infrastructure-as-code practices, and familiarity with API documentation standards such as OpenAPI/Swagger.

• Experience with other modern frontend frameworks (e.g., Angular). Experience with Python for backend services or tooling.
• Proficiency with design and prototyping tools such as Figma for collaborating on UI/UX requirements is highly desirable.
• Experience with traditional AI/ML, such as predictive analysis, is highly desirable.
