• Contribute to AI-enabled product capabilities, including Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), semantic/vector search, embeddings, and prompt orchestration.
• Address technical debt and resolve production issues.
• Participate in sprint planning, backlog refinement, and peer code reviews.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver scalable, high-quality software solutions.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Minimum 10 years of professional software engineering experience, preferably in a SaaS environment.
• Proficiency in Angular, React, TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.
• Experience with Node.js, Java, Spring Boot, and Express.
• Experience with MySQL or PostgreSQL databases.
• Strong knowledge of API design and integration.
• Experience using AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, CodeRabbit, Greptile, or similar.
