Use AI coding tools (Claude, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate development, testing, and documentation.
Write clean, well-tested code and maintain high quality through code review.
Optimize application performance, responsiveness, and reliability.
Debug and resolve issues, including production incidents.
Participate in Agile ceremonies and collaborate with QA to ensure thorough testing before release.
Participate in on-call rotation and plan for deployments outside standard business hours.

Experience with DACPAC-based SQL Server deployment workflows.
AWS certification (e.g., Solutions Architect Associate).
Experience in payments, fintech, or restaurant/retail technology domains.
Education
Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
Experience
4–8 years of professional software engineering experience.
Experience delivering production software across multiple, architecturally distinct systems preferred.
Experience working in Agile or team-based development environments preferred.
