Preferred Qualifications
- Experience building AI copilots or developer tools using OpenAI/Claude SDKs, LangChain, or similar frameworks.
- Experience working in a fast-paced AI-driven development lifecycle (AIDLC) environment with strong CI/CD understanding.
- Familiarity with GitHub Actions, Argo Workflows, Terraform, and observability tools.
- Strong experience in containerization and orchestration using Docker and Kubernetes.
- Exposure to cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or OCI.

This role requires adopting an AI-first approach, where GenAI and agentic AI tools are treated as essential collaborators rather than optional tools.
The ideal candidate:
- Proactively identifies opportunities to integrate AI into workflows.
- Approaches problems with the mindset: “How can AI help design and optimize this faster and better?”
- Is comfortable with rapid AI evolution and experimentation.
- Uses AI to enhance productivity while maintaining high standards of scalability, security, and cost efficiency.
