· Build and consume RESTful APIs and support integrations with internal and external systems

· Work with PostgreSQL databases including writing queries, optimizing performance, and supporting schema evolution

· Collaborate with AWS services such as S3, Lambda and SQS for storage and asynchronous processing

· Implement and maintain authentication flows using Auth0 and OAuth standards

· Write automated tests such as RSpec and Jest and maintain code quality through thoughtful code reviews

· Actively use AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code as a core part of daily development including code generation, refactoring, debugging, and system comprehension

· Continuously improve how AI tools are used within the team to increase development speed, reduce friction, and improve overall engineering effectiveness

· Experience with Git workflows and collaborative development practices

· Strong communication skills and a team-first mindset with a willingness to ask questions when stuck, share context proactively, and believe the best solutions come from collaboration

· Comfort giving and receiving feedback in code reviews and team discussions

· Demonstrated experience using AI tools such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or ChatGPT as a regular part of the development workflow

· Strong ability to evaluate, validate, and improve AI-generated code to ensure production-quality outcomes
