• Implement workflow automation and data pipelines where needed
• Contribute across the full software development lifecycle, including CI/CD
• Ensure solutions are production-ready, including testing, documentation, and handover
• Act as a reliable execution partner, proactively communicating progress, trade-offs, risks, and changes in expectations

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in software engineering with proven ownership and independent delivery without close supervision
• Background in consulting, advisory, or client-facing project and client relationship delivery
• Strong problem-solving skills, including the ability to frame and solve problems in ambiguous situations
• Competency in communication and stakeholder management, including proactive expectation management
• Showcase of Gen AI assisted development tools and practices as part of day-to-day software delivery
• Proficiency in Python within enterprise environments
• Expertise in building REST APIs and backend services
• Knowledge of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and cloud-native application development
