Contribute to team practices around AI usage and prompt engineering

Spec-Driven Development

Drive spec‑driven development, where features are defined through clear, structured specifications before implementation

Create and refine technical specs (APIs, contracts, workflows, data models) that serve as the source of truth for development

Use specifications to enable alignment across engineering, product, and QA

Leverage specs to support automation, testing, and AI‑assisted development workflows

Ensure implementations are traceable back to specifications and meet defined acceptance criteria

Collaboration

Partner with Product, QA, and Architecture teams to deliver solutions

Participate in design discussions and technical decision‑making
