AI-Assisted Development & Integration
- Leverage AI-assisted coding tools (such as Cursor, GitHub Copilot) to enhance productivity and code quality in a controlled and structured manner (PRDs, system architecture, modelling good data structures)
- Apply prompt engineering principles to effectively communicate with AI models and integrate AI capabilities into applications.
- Build and maintain AI-powered features, including chatbots, content analysis, and intelligent data processing.
- Use AI-assisted tools responsibly, ensuring generated code adheres to organizational security, licensing, and data protection guidelines
Cloud Services Integration & Modern Architecture
- Integrate with cloud services following established patterns and architectural guidance.
- Demonstrate an understanding of authentication and authorisation fundamentals (OAuth, token-based auth, RBAC) and apply these concepts when building application features that work within cloud identity and access management systems.
- Understand and apply scalable application patterns (serverless, event-driven architecture) and work effectively within established CI/CD deployment processes.
- Understand fundamental concepts of asynchronous programming, lazy loading, real-time communication (polling vs streaming), and performance optimisation.
Collaborative Development & Continuous Improvement
- Participate in SCRUM ceremonies with diligent tracking of development progress.
- Participate in code reviews focusing on maintainability, security, and adherence to established patterns.
- Contribute to technical discussions and architectural decisions while working within established cloud infrastructure and sound engineering principles.
- Embrace continuous learning, particularly in emerging AI/ML technologies and modern web development practices.
- Collaborate effectively with team members and IT Operations teams for deployment processes while maintaining responsibility for application-level configuration and integration.
