What will help you be successful in this role
1-4 years of experience
Uses AI assistants as a natural part of their development workflow: for writing code, debugging, writing tests, generating documentation, and exploring unfamiliar domains.
Decomposes a task into parts, translates those parts into effective prompts, and iterates on those prompts until the task is complete.
Treats AI-generated outputs as drafts, not final, and refines them before incorporating.
Actively explores new AI tools, techniques, and capabilities.
4 + years of experience
Approaches system design, architecture, or technical decisions, considering where AI can meaningfully improve the solution, not just the development process.
Evaluates trade-offs between AI-assisted and traditional approaches with practical judgement.
Identifies repetitive, manual, or error-prone processes in their team's work and introduces AI-powered improvements, including but not limited to code reviews, AI-assisted testing, intelligent alerting, or document generation.
Applies advanced prompting techniques to tackle ambiguous, multi-step or domain specific problems.
Technical Environment
Core stack: Python and Oracle PL/SQL, with a Django web application (using Django REST) and FastAPI REST APIs, both running on ECS Fargate.
Operating environment: AWS cloud, with some workloads on Linux EC2 and some container-based (ECS Fargate).
Workflow: Git and GitLab CI/CD, AWS Lambda workflows and S3, [ticketing and SDLC to add].
Quality and reliability: unit and integration testing, code review, and production troubleshooting of applications and batch processes.
Technical Skills
Python development, including Django web applications (with Django REST) and FastAPI REST APIs.
Oracle: strong SQL and PL/SQL development.
AWS: working knowledge of services such as Lambda, S3, EC2 and ECS Fargate.
Testing: unit and integration testing, with exposure to test automation.
Working knowledge of Git-based workflows, GitLab CI/CD and containerized deployment, and sound practice on authentication, authorization and API security.
Demonstrated, hands-on experience building and supporting applications and batch processes in production.
Clear written and verbal communication, effective teamwork, and a record of owning work through to completion.
Experience with AWS Lambda, S3 or ECS Fargate, and with Linux on EC2 would be a plus.
Practical experience applying LLMs or AI coding assistants, including evaluating the quality of their output would be a plus.
Experience in financial services or other regulated environments would be a plus.
