•    Version control — Git with branching strategies (feature branches, pull requests, code review workflows)

Nice to have Skills:

•    Experience with PLM, ERP, or CRM products — familiarity with product lifecycle concepts (BOM, ECO, revision management, vault)

•    Experience integrating third-party applications and external REST / SOAP APIs

•    Experience with Agile / Scrum methodologies — sprint planning, backlog grooming, and definition of done

•    Integrate third-party libraries and external services into the PLM platform

•    Write and maintain unit and integration tests to ensure feature quality and prevent regression

•    Use AI tools to accelerate development — code generation, test authoring, documentation, and debugging workflows

•    Collaborate with development Scrum teams through all stages of Agile development

•    Participate in code reviews, enforce coding standards, and contribute to architectural decisions

•    Provide technical expertise and application support to engineering teams working with customers (Application and Project Engineers)

•    Research and evaluate new technologies, frameworks, and AI tooling relevant to PLM web client development
