AI-First Engineering (Must-Have Mindset) :

You will :

  • Use tools like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Claude in daily development

  • Strong database knowledge (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, etc.).
  • Understanding of security, performance optimization, and reliability.
  • Experience with CI/CD, Git, Docker, Kubernetes.
