Modernize legacy systems — Lead migration of mature C/C++ codebases to modern languages, runtimes, and UI/UX frameworks while preserving scientific accuracy and performance. Leverage AI-assisted development — Actively adopt AI-powered tools (e.g., Copilot, code-generation, automated testing assistants) to accelerate delivery and improve code quality.Collaborate on architecture — Partner with the Team Lead and Product Owner to translate requirements into sound, maintainable technical solutions the team can implement and iterate on. Communicate clearly — Escalate risks, trade-offs, and progress in a timely, structured manner to technical and non-technical stakeholders.Stay current — Continuously evaluate and adopt emerging languages, frameworks, cloud services, and AI/ML tooling relevant to the product.

Proven experience with software engineering fundamentals: object-oriented and component-based design, design patterns, unit/integration testing, version control (Git), and code review workflows. Hands-on CI/CD experience — building, configuring, or maintaining automated build and deployment pipelines. Experience modernizing legacy software — migrating codebases from older languages or frameworks to current platforms, including UI/UX modernization.Self-motivated and collaborative; thrives in a team environment and takes initiative without direction. Excellent analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.
