• Leverage AWS AI services (including Bedrock) to build intelligent application features such as search, summarization, personalization, and assistants

• Model and build knowledge graphs using Neo4j and Apache AGE, integrating them into applications for advanced querying, reasoning, and recommendation

• Collaborate closely with product and design to deliver excellent UI/UX, including interaction design, information architecture, and responsive layouts

• Write comprehensive automated tests (unit, integration, and end-to-end) and establish quality gates as part of the development workflow

• Drive technical discovery and prototyping of new tools, frameworks, and patterns, sharing findings with the team and influencing technology choices

• Diagnose and resolve complex production issues across the stack, including performance bottlenecks, reliability problems, and data inconsistencies

Requirements:

• 3-5 years of professional software development experience, including substantial end-to-end ownership of complex applications

• Strong proficiency with React, Next.js, and TypeScript for building modern, responsive web interfaces
