Expand and evolve modules to make them more flexible, open, and robust.
Continuously improve software that has already shipped.
Develop full-stack software with a focus on quality and performance.
Build products adopted as powerful systems supporting customers’ critical business needs.
Make engineering decisions and own what ships in an AI-assisted engineering environment.
Explain and understand code before accepting it.
Collaborate with the team to learn and share discoveries about AI-assisted engineering.
Develop a prompt for an AI coding assistant to implement an original business-document manipulation feature, define constraints and acceptance criteria, anticipate edge cases, and explain how to evaluate the model’s output.

Requirements

What you’ll need

At least 3 years of professional software development experience.
Solid backend development in Java (11 to 21). Groovy and/or Kotlin, and Spring Boot, are a plus.
Strong JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS3, with experience building responsive web applications that work across devices and browsers.
Experience with a modern front-end framework. We use Vue.js 3 with Vite for new UIs; React experience is welcome too.
Comfortable in a codebase that mixes modern and older technologies (e.g. RequireJS, Handlebars, LESS, Grunt), with experience maintaining and refactoring complex web applications.
Can test what you build, both unit and end-to-end (e.g. JUnit, Vitest).
Experience with build tools, especially Maven and npm-based front-end builds. Gradle is a plus.
Good knowledge of web servers, REST APIs and relational databases (we use PostgreSQL).
Hands-on experience building with LLMs (model APIs, prompt and context design, RAG, tool calling/MCP), and everyday use of AI coding assistants with a clear view of where they fail.
Familiar with agile methodologies, and able to handle fast-changing schedules and priorities.
BS in Computer Science or equivalent experience, and a passion for web technology.
Nice to have: experience with OpenText Content Server or other ECM/EIM platforms; Docker and Kubernetes; document processing (PDF/Office generation, conversion, OCR, e-signature).
Along with your CV, submit a short original prompt for an AI coding assistant implementing a document-manipulation feature, plus a maximum 300-word note, in a single PDF or Markdown file; prompt maximum two pages.
Submissions generated with AI will be disqualified.
