• Use agentic coding tools such as Claude Code, Codex, or similar technologies to scope, implement, and troubleshoot well-defined tasks, with your work reviewed against the same standards applied to any pull request.
• Write and maintain automated tests, and participate actively in code review - both giving and receiving feedback.
• Collaborate with Product Managers, Platform Engineers, and other Software Engineers on day-to-day feature and integration work.
• Investigate and fix defects surfaced during development, testing, or production support, escalating ambiguous or architectural questions to senior engineers.

• 2-5 years of professional software engineering experience.
• Working proficiency in Python, with experience building and maintaining services or APIs.

• Familiarity with cloud platforms (GCP preferred) and modern CI/CD and testing practices.
• Comfortable using or learning agentic coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) as part of the day-to-day workflow.
