• Ability to work effectively in environments with evolving or ambiguous requirements and contribute to solution design.
• Strong understanding of software design and architecture principles.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to clearly explain technical concepts.

What We Are Looking For:

• Has a Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related science or engineering discipline

• Knows how to use AI as part of your job, but can own the results
