• Set up and maintain monitoring, logging, alerting, and dashboards for applications, pipelines, and services.
• Respond to operational issues, participate in troubleshooting, and document runbooks and fixes.
• Apply secure engineering practices: secrets management, least privilege access, and audit logging.
• Build and maintain internal applications, dashboards, and tools under guidance from senior engineers.
• Develop back-end services (APIs, microservices) and front-end interfaces using modern frameworks.
• Integrate applications with enterprise systems, cloud services, and external platforms.
• Help integrate AI and LLM-powered features—chat, summarization, search, automation—into internal tools and user-facing applications.
• Help build and maintain data pipelines and system integrations (ETL/ELT).
• Support the enterprise data warehouse/lakehouse, including schema changes and basic performance tuning.
• Automate data validation, testing, and monitoring to keep data reliable and trustworthy.
• Prepare and structure data so it is AI-ready, supporting model inputs, retrieval, and LLM-powered features.
• Write clean, maintainable, tested code; participate in code reviews and design discussions.
• Use AI-assisted coding tools to work faster, while applying sound judgment to review, test, and verify generated code.
• Follow data governance and security standards, including naming conventions, access controls, and data quality checks.
• Translate requirements into small, iterative deliverables and participate in Agile ceremonies.
• Contribute to internal documentation, standards, and engineering best practices.

Qualifications

• 1–3 years of experience in software engineering, data engineering, DevOps, or a related role.
• Working knowledge of Python and SQL.
• Exposure to building web applications (front-end, back-end, and database).
• Some hands-on experience with DevOps fundamentals: Git, CI/CD pipelines, and basic cloud services.
• Familiarity with at least one cloud platform (AWS preferred, Azure/GCP ok).
• Understanding basic data governance, data quality, and secure access concepts.
• Comfort using AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., Copilot, Claude, Cursor) in day-to-day development.
• Eagerness to learn, strong problem-solving instincts, and good communication skills.
• Preferred: Experience with containerization (Docker) and exposure to orchestration (Kubernetes, ECS, or serverless).
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar).
• Experience with a modern front-end framework (React, Vue, or Angular).
• Exposure to modern data stack tools (dbt, ClickHouse, Snowflake, Databricks, or BigQuery).
• Hands-on experience integrating AI/LLM capabilities into tools or applications (APIs, prompts, retrieval, or agent workflows).
• Relevant certifications or coursework in cloud or DevOps.
