- 7+ years working with relational databases (Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL) and NoSQL databases (MongoDB, Cassandra), including schema design, query optimization, and distributed transactions.
- 5+ years applying secure-by-design principles, API security, and vulnerability remediation (OWASP Top 10, TLS, IAM, PCI DSS, GDPR) in enterprise environments.
- Experience implementing bias detection, explainability, human-in-the-loop workflows, and compliance controls within AI systems, aligned to enterprise governance frameworks.
- 5+ years improving developer productivity through API standards, SDKs, CLI tools, and automation frameworks, including at least 1 year applying generative AI across the SDLC (for example GitHub Copilot, Cline, Cursor, or Claude Code) for code reviews, automated documentation, user story creation, and workflow automation.
