Critical requirement:

• Hands-on experience using AI-assisted or agent-based development workflows in real projects 

• Ability to review, debug, and improve agentic AI-generated code

• Build a shared platform layer for rewards, pricing, and promotions across multiple product lines
  Improve page load performance and API latency across global markets

• Design observability systems to detect and debug issues in real time

• Build internal workflows where AI systems assist in generating, testing, and validating production code
  Reduce development cycle time by creating repeatable AI-assisted engineering workflows

• Evolve platform architecture to support new product categories and integrations

What Success Looks Like

• You deliver high-quality features in days, not weeks

• You reduce system complexity while improving performance and reliability

• You proactively identify and solve bottlenecks
