AI-First Proficiency

We embrace AI-first development. The ideal candidate has integrated AI agents into their entire SDLC — from autonomous debugging and log analysis to rapid prototyping and shipping features to production. You're an expert at orchestrating AI tools like Claude Code, Cursor or similar to deliver high-quality code at a pace that traditional workflows can't match.
