AI-Native Engineering Workflow
Hands-on experience with AI coding agents in CLI environments: Claude Code, OpenAI Codex CLI, Amp, or similar tools for backend development.

Familiarity with plan-execute-review workflows where AI agents propose implementation strategies before coding. Understanding of compound AI systems—not just using LLMs, but orchestrating multiple AI tools in your development workflow.
Proficiency in context engineering for team collaboration: setting up and maintaining shared configuration files (agents.md, CLAUDE.md, custom skills/plugins) that encode team conventions, API patterns, and deployment practices. Experience sharing these configurations across teams to ensure consistent AI-assisted development. Understanding of compound AI systems—not just using LLMs, but orchestrating multiple AI tools in your development workflow.
