Use AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT/Codex) to improve development speed and code quality.

Continuously explore and help introduce new technologies, tools, and best practices across the team.

A genuine passion for software development — you enjoy the craft, take pride in your code, and are always looking for a better way to build something.

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience, with a solid foundation in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and common design patterns.

Curiosity about full stack development — comfortable moving between backend (Java, Spring Boot, RESTful APIs) and frontend (Vue.js, Angular, or React) work, and excited to deepen that range.

A self-starter mindset: you take ownership of problems, ask good questions, and are comfortable working both independently and as part of an Agile team.

Strong problem-solving instincts and a genuine enjoyment of technical challenges.

Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the openness to give and receive feedback in code reviews and design discussions.

Comfort thriving in a fast-paced, evolving environment where priorities and technologies shift.
