You Have:

• 8+ years of software engineering experience building and shipping production systems, products, or platforms
• 1+ years of demonstrated proficiency using AI coding agents or similar generative AI development tools for end-to-end application delivery
• Strong ability to decompose problems, write effective prompts, evaluate outputs critically, and iterate until solutions meet quality expectations
• Solid understanding of full-stack application development, including frontend, backend, APIs, data stores, and cloud infrastructure
• Experience with common architectural patterns such as web applications, service-oriented systems, databases, queues, and event-driven workflows
