  • Utilise containerisation, CI/CD pipelines, and continuous feedback processes.
  • Apply best practices in quality engineering to ensure assigned code components are backed by appropriate test coverage.
  • Leverage AI-assisted development tools and workflows to support your day-to-day coding, learning, and delivery speed.
  • Openly explore and adopt modern engineering tools introduced by the team to improve productivity.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including product managers, designers, and other engineers, to understand requirements and deliver solutions.
  • Actively learn from senior team members, embracing mentorship and striving for continuous technical growth.

Your skills, experience and beyond:

  • Exposure to AI-assisted development tools and workflows.
  • Strong problem-solving, communication and collaboration skills.
  • Curiosity, adaptability and a genuine desire to learn.
