Your insights as a new user of these tools will be invaluable in refining how we work.
You'll contribute to two main projects:
Primary: Help rebuild MasterControl's Supplier module, a system managing supplier relationships, qualifications, and compliance. Build React/TypeScript frontend components and Spring Boot backend APIs using GenAI tools throughout development.
Secondary: Build systems to track and improve how engineers use AI tools across the company, including data collection servers, analytics dashboards, and cloud infrastructure on Kubernetes.
