- Design specifications and write test cases

- Provide inputs and documentation of new or existing features

- Partner with your scrum team members on delivering sprint commitments

- Solid C++ knowledge and hands-on experience with C# and Python, the current engine stack

- Hands-on experience with AI coding agents and LLM-based tooling, and the mindset to direct agents and validate their output rather than code everything by hand
