2. AI-Assisted Development

• Actively use AI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or similar tools) to accelerate feature development, reduce boilerplate, and improve code consistency.

• Leverage AI tools to assist in generating, reviewing, and refactoring code, while critically evaluating AI-generated output for correctness, security, and maintainability.

• Integrate AI-assisted testing approaches, including generating test cases and using AI tools to identify edge cases and potential regressions.

• Stay current with evolving AI development tools and help establish team best practices around their responsible and effective use.

3. Identity Management

• Contribute to the design and development of identity and access management features, including user authentication, authorization, user profile management, PAM, custom workflows, provisioning, and compliance.

• Ensure the security and privacy of user data, implementing best practices for identity protection.

4. Application Security

• Implement and maintain security measures to protect against vulnerabilities and threats.

• Conduct security reviews and participate in security testing to identify and address potential risks.

• Stay up to date with the latest security trends and best practices.

5. Collaboration

• Work closely with team members to translate business requirements into technical solutions.

• Participate in code reviews, providing constructive feedback to enhance code quality.

• Actively mentor junior and mid-level developers through pair programming, code reviews, and structured knowledge-sharing sessions, with particular emphasis on guiding effective and responsible use of AI coding tools.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree[DR1]  in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.

• Minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience with Node.js and Angular development.

• Familiarity with identity management concepts and principles.

• Strong understanding of application security and best practices.

• Proficiency in RESTful API design and development.

• Experience with databases such as MongoDB, MySQL, or PostgreSQL.

• Knowledge of version control systems, preferably Git.

• Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills.

• Strong communication and teamwork skills.

Desired Qualifications

• Experience with authentication protocols (OAuth, OpenID Connect, SAML).

• Knowledge of cloud services such as AWS or Azure.

• Understanding of containerization and orchestration technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).

• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices.

• Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or similar, including the ability to critically evaluate and refine AI-generated code.

• Experience using AI tools for automated test generation, code review assistance, or documentation.

• Demonstrated experience mentoring less senior developers, including coaching on modern tooling and development workflows.
