8+ years of experience building RESTful APIs and Java applications, preferably using Spring Boot.
Experience designing and implementing enterprise data integration solutions across cloud and on-premises environments.
Experience developing Generative AI solutions using AWS Bedrock and integrating LLM capabilities into enterprise applications.
Experience implementing production-grade CI/CD, monitoring, logging, testing, security, and operational best practices.

These will help you stand out:

Experience building and integrating Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and tools.
Experience exposing enterprise data, APIs, and business services to AI agents through MCP frameworks.
Experience with agentic AI architectures, tool orchestration, and advanced AI integration patterns.
Experience working in large-scale enterprise cloud environments.
Exposure to Angular development and modern front-end technologies.

We're excited to meet people who share our mission and can make an impact in a variety of ways. Don't hesitate to apply, even if you only meet the minimum requirements listed.
