• Product Collaboration: Work hand-in-hand with product managers and designers to translate customer pain points into impactful, intuitive features.
  
  
• AI-Accelerated Development: Leverage tools like Cursor, Devin, and GitHub Copilot to prototype, refactor, test, and deploy high-quality code efficiently.
  
  
• Architect & Scale: Design and optimize distributed systems, APIs (REST/GraphQL), and backend infrastructure for performance, reliability, and resilience.
  
  
• Data Expertise: Model and optimize relational data in PostgreSQL, ensuring consistency and scalability.
  
  
• Security-Integrated DevOps: Support automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, and vulnerability scanning throughout the development lifecycle.
  
  
• Mentorship & Collaboration: Provide guidance and thoughtful code reviews to peers, fostering a culture of quality and security.
  
  
• Continuous Learning: Stay ahead of trends in AI-assisted engineering, application security, and cybersecurity technologies.
  
  

What We're Looking For

• Experienced Full-Stack Engineer: Proven track record building and deploying production-grade applications using Java (Spring Boot, Quarkus) and JavaScript (React, ).
  
  
• Application Security Expertise: Deep understanding of secure coding practices, authentication/authorization (OAuth2, OIDC), dependency management, and vulnerability mitigation.
  
  
• Cybersecurity Awareness: Familiarity with common software supply chain risks, SBOMs, CVEs, and vulnerability scanning principles.
  
  
• Product Mindset: You think like a product owner — balancing technical excellence, user experience, and business value.
  
  
• AI-Native Developer: Skilled in using AI tools (Cursor, Devin, Copilot) to enhance productivity and code quality.
  
  
• Cloud & Containers: Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud providers (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
  
  
• Quality-Driven: Passionate about testing, CI/CD automation, and maintainable code.
  
  
• Collaborative: Excellent communication skills and experience working in cross-functional, remote teams.
