• AI Tooling: Demonstrated experience using AI coding assistants in daily development workflows;
• Version Control & CI/CD: Proficiency with Git, including branch management, pull requests, and CI/CD pipeline integration;
• Linux/Unix Fundamentals: User-level proficiency with Linux/Unix command-line navigation, shell scripting basics, and environment manipulation (no administrative/sysadmin duties required);
• Database Integration: Experience working with diverse databases, including Snowflake, relational (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL), and non-relational (e.g., MongoDB) databases;
• API Design: Solid understanding of RESTful API design principles and integration;
• Upper-intermediate English level;

Nice to haves

• Familiarity with modern frontend development (TypeScript or modern component-based frameworks like React/Vue) for cross-stack collaboration;
• Basic understanding of cloud infrastructure and containerization tools (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes);
• Experience working within an Agile/Scrum development lifecycle;

What you will do

• Continue the development and extension of the internal developer portal and dashboard;
• Design, build, and maintain a robust custom Python backend to support core application features;
• Leverage AI coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, or similar) to streamline implementation, refactoring, and test generation;
• Integrate the application with diverse database environments, specifically Snowflake, relational (SQL), and non-relational (NoSQL) databases;
• Manage version control and CI/CD pipelines (Git) to maintain automated testing and smooth deployment workflows;
• Interact with and navigate Linux/Unix environments on a user level to run development builds, execute scripts, and inspect logs;
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate user requirements into scalable technical solutions;
• Ensure code quality through unit testing, peer code reviews, and performance optimization;
