 * Excellent database / SQL skills, including performance optimisation and normalisation
 * Be skilled with Git, including rebasing and squashing commits
 * Experience with Docker-based local development environments
 * Experience with Linux and the command line

 * Drupal module development on 7 and 10/11
 * Front-end JavaScript, including legacy AngularJS

## Description

* Build and test CiviCRM extensions and Drupal modules, with unit tests on every change
 * Help write technical specifications before building, and at a senior level lead them
 * Review other people's pull requests and give useful technical feedback
 * Use AI coding tools within our playbooks, and check their output
 * Investigate production issues to the root cause and write up what you found
 * Take part in planning, estimation and retrospectives, and follow actions through
 * Keep documentation up to date: README files, extension metadata, process pages
 * Share knowledge with and support other members of the team, 1. Good judgement: knowing when the quick answer is the wrong answer, whether it comes from an AI tool or a person

 3. Clear writing: specifications, PR descriptions and investigation notes that others can act on
 4. Team player: reviews, mentors and shares by default
