## About the Role

* Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
 * 2-6 years of hands-on experience building production software with Java/Spring/Spring Boot.
 * Demonstrated use of AI-assisted coding tools and integration of AI features with responsible-use practices.
 * Working knowledge of RDBMS (Oracle or equivalent) and secure, performant data access in services.
 * Experience contributing to CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and observability.
 * Prompt engineering for code/tests with verification steps; avoid blind acceptance of generated code.

## Description

* Apply AI-assisted coding and AI coding practices to speed up development (prompting, code suggestions, test generation), while ensuring code quality, security, and maintainability.
 * Integrate AI features in applications (e.g., inference endpoints, prompt orchestration, RAG flows, embeddings) with guardrails, input/output validation, and auditability.
 * Contribute to data access design and performance (RDBMS basics): write efficient queries, tune connection pools, and implement transactional integrity and error handling.
 * Collaborate closely with tech leads and product partners to refine requirements, acceptance criteria, and sprint goals; maintain clean documentation (API contracts, ADRs, readmes).
 * Support CI/CD pipeline tasks (builds, tests, artifacts, environment configs) and contribute to automated quality gates and release safety.
 * Data/RDBMS fundamentals: SQL, schema/index basics, transactions/locking, query optimization, and connection pool tuning (HikariCP or similar).
 * Middleware/integration: REST API design, JSON/Proto handling, authentication/authorization basics (OAuth2/OIDC), and resilience patterns (retry, circuit breaker).
