• Hands-on experience or strong aptitude for quick learning with low-code/no-code platforms like Retool and automation tools such as n8n.
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure, especially AWS services (e.g., S3, RDS).
• Practical experience working in agile development teams and participating actively in code reviews and technical discussions.
• Ability to develop, maintain, and enhance high-quality software for AI-driven content generation, implementing features under guidance.
• Skill in troubleshooting, debugging, and independently resolving complex, well-defined issues.
• Commitment to best practices for performance, scalability, security, and quality while staying current with trends in AI and software engineering.
