• Engage in the complete software development lifecycle—from gathering requirements and design to implementation, testing, release, production verification, and subsequent improvements.
• Embrace modern cloud development practices, including CI/CD pipelines, code reviews, automated testing, quality gates, and production monitoring.
• Gain insights into how cloud services function in production, including managing alerts, troubleshooting issues, verifying fixes, and understanding customer impact.
• Collaborate with engineers, product managers, UX designers, and other teams to deliver meaningful product value.
• Leverage modern AI tools to enhance productivity and accelerate learning.
• Contribute to features that utilize AI to help users interpret telemetry, identify problems, and receive enhanced guidance within the product.

• Hands-on experience in real product development for a cloud SaaS product utilized by global customers.
• A contemporary engineering environment free from legacy technology constraints.
• Comprehensive experience with the full lifecycle of cloud software—not just coding, but also testing, releasing, monitoring, and enhancing production features.
• Mentorship from experienced engineers and opportunities for growth toward a Software Engineer role.
• Access to modern AI tools that facilitate coding, learning, testing, and problem-solving.
