- Claude, ChatGPT, Bolt AI — for technical research, idea validation, documentation, and even architecture design;
- GitHub Copilot — for in-line code suggestions, testing support, and faster prototyping.
We seek someone who not only uses AI in daily development processes but thinks with AI, treating it as a partner in creating scalable, modern software systems.

- A creative and innovative mindset in approaching challenges and solutions.
- Comfortable working with AI tools in daily development processes.
