• Create automation capabilities that streamline business processes and AI-assisted workflows.

• Collaborate with solution architects, product teams, and business stakeholders to define scalable technical solutions.

• Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and technical design sessions.

• Ensure solutions meet security, performance, reliability, scalability, and maintainability standards.

• Contribute to reusable frameworks, libraries, and integration patterns.

• Use AI-assisted development tools such as Codex in day-to-day engineering and review, test, and validate generated code.

• Diagnose and resolve production issues while considering both technical root causes and business impact.

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong experience in Python.

• Proven experience designing and delivering production REST APIs.

• Strong understanding of API design principles, authentication, authorization, and enterprise integration patterns.

• Experience building and supporting cloud-native applications and services.

• Understanding of event-driven architectures and service-oriented architectures.

• Hands-on experience with automated testing, CI/CD, code reviews, and production troubleshooting.

• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.

• Ability to understand the business purpose and wider context behind a technical requirement.

• Ability to identify assumptions, explain technical trade-offs, and propose alternative approaches when appropriate.

• Sound technical judgment to determine when to proceed independently, when to request clarification, and when to challenge a requirement.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Nice to Have

• Experience with MCP (Model Context Protocol) or AI agent integration frameworks.

• Experience building enterprise automation solutions.

• Experience with front-end or UI development.

• Experience with Databricks, cloud platforms, or enterprise AI systems.

• Previous experience working in consulting or complex enterprise environments.

• Experience using AI coding agents such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, or similar tools.rn CI/CD workflows and technologies.
