- AI-first development — expected to actively leverage generative AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor) to accelerate development and improve code quality
- Own the platform — influence the technical roadmap, lead design reviews, implement CI/CD pipelines, and support production systems including on-call responsibilities
- Cross-disciplinary collaboration — work closely with scientific and operational domain experts to translate genomic, diagnostic, and epidemiological data into robust software
