Responsibilities Build and own backend services using Java, Spring Boot, and Python—designed for scale, reliability, and real‑time use. Use AI tools (Amazon Q, Cursor, Copilot, Claude, GPT) to accelerate development, refactoring, and problem‑solving. Turn product ideas into production‑ready systems quickly, without compromising quality. Integrate AI capabilities (LLMs, RAG, vector search) into backend workflows where they add real value. Act as the final filter for AI‑generated code—identify flaws, inefficiencies, and incorrect assumptions before they ship. Design clean APIs, handle distributed system challenges, and ensure performance at scale. Write and validate tests to keep fast‑moving systems stable. Debug production issues and take full ownership of reliability and performance. Technical Qualifications Strong experience with Java (Spring Boot) and Python backend systems. Experience building high‑scale, low‑latency distributed systems. Solid understanding of APIs, databases, caching, and event‑driven systems (e.g., Kafka). Experience with cloud environments (AWS) and containerised deployments. Familiarity with LLM APIs, token usage, latency, and response handling. AI‑Native Capabilities Regularly use AI tools (Amazon Q, Cursor, Copilot, Claude, GPT) as part of daily workflow. Manage context, structure prompts, and obtain reliable outputs from AI systems. Verify, refine, and take responsibility for every line of code produced with AI. Behavioural Fit Own the entire development lifecycle—from design to deployment—without relying on the "AI wrote it" excuse. Optimize for speed and correctness. Tinkerer mindset: experiment early, iterate quickly, and learn from failures. Operate comfortably in ambiguity and translate ideas into working systems. Apply best practices and continuously improve processes.
