• Explore and integrate AI-powered tools into the software development lifecycle to boost efficiency, automation, and code quality.
• Occasionally contribute to frontend (web) tasks when needed (having some web knowledge is a plus).

What you’ll bring

• Comfortable using Git in a trunk-based development environment.
• Knowledge of Continuous Deployment principles and tools.
