• Conduct and participate in constructive code reviews, providing actionable feedback to peers while ensuring optimal code quality and team-wide technical growth.
• Enforce and comply with LizAI’s data protection and storage policies to maintain strict security and compliance standards.
• Communicate progress and blocker status transparently, providing clear technical updates and proactive risk management to team leads and stakeholders.

• Apply strong object-oriented programming (OOP) principles, software design patterns, and industry-standard best practices to build scalable architectures.
• Deliver robust backend services using Python (FastAPI) and C# (.NET Core / ASP.NET Core), routinely prioritizing and implementing Python-based solutions to optimize performance.
• Develop and integrate frontend components using modern frameworks like Angular or React to support full-stack initiatives.
• Design and optimize RESTful APIs, relational databases (SQL), and non-relational data structures (NoSQL) using sound data modeling techniques.
• Execute deliverables across the full Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), actively contributing to and driving Agile/Scrum team ceremonies.
• Implement and manage cloud-native technologies, utilizing AWS, Docker, and Kubernetes for containerization and deployment pipelines.
• Integrate AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code) into the workflow to accelerate productivity, refactoring, and test coverage—while maintaining strict code ownership and engineering oversight.
• Demonstrate advanced analytical thinking, structured problem-solving, and precise attention to detail under minimal supervision.
• Collaborate and communicate effectively across cross-functional teams to align technical implementations with business objectives.

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.
