- Write high-quality, well-tested, maintainable code
- Use AI-assisted development (Claude, Copilot) as a daily practice including structured prompting, iterative refinement, and AI-assisted debugging
- Review, validate, and harden AI-generated code through testing, peer review, edge-case analysis, and verification of correctness, scalability, and thread safety
- Collaborate with QA on automated log analysis and testing workflows
Who We're Looking For
