Key Responsibilities

Design, develop, test, and maintain production software in a Java/Spring Boot environment.
Use Claude Code as a primary AI coding agent for scaffolding, refactoring, debugging, test generation, code review, and multi-step coding tasks.
Leverage OpenAI Codex/Codex CLI, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and similar tools where appropriate.
Break down complex features into well-scoped tasks that can be delegated to AI coding tools.
Critically review, validate, test, and integrate AI-generated code rather than blindly accepting suggestions.
Develop and maintain automated unit, integration, and end-to-end tests, using AI tools to improve test coverage.
Build internal tooling, prompts, project instructions, slash commands, MCP integrations, and agent playbooks to support AI-assisted development.
Identify bugs, security issues, and architectural drift in both human-written and AI-generated code.
Debug production issues and use AI tools to accelerate root-cause analysis.
Collaborate with product managers, designers, and engineers to deliver well-architected solutions.
Evaluate new AI coding tools and help establish effective development workflows, best practices, and guardrails.
Contribute to technical design documents, architecture decisions, and estimation.

Required Qualifications

8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with 1+ years of proven experience leveraging AI coding tools in a development workflow.
Strong proficiency in Java and Spring / Spring Boot or an equivalent enterprise Java stack.
Hands-on, real-world experience using Claude Code extensively in software development not just casual or occasional use.
Experience with other AI coding assistants or agents, such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or OpenAI Codex/Codex CLI.
Strong fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and system design.
Solid understanding of backend development, including:

Strong understanding of software engineering best practices, including Git, CI/CD, automated testing, and code reviews.
Ability to critically evaluate AI-generated code for accuracy, correctness, security, performance, and maintainability.
Ability to explain how AI tools have been used to improve development speed and quality in real projects.

Preferred Qualifications

Familiarity with Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, or Go.
Experience creating CLAUDE.md project instructions, slash commands, MCP integrations, or AI-assisted engineering playbooks.
Experience helping other developers adopt AI coding tools effectively.
Experience working with production systems and resolving complex technical issues.
