About Gen-e2TM

While the market is still largely AI-augmenting delivery, we have reinvented the SDLC to be AI First. Leveraging our 16 years expertise in digital transformation, our approach is a game-changer in productivity and quality, with a strong collaboration between IA generative and our best Talents:

We now generate 95% of the entire product — code, documentation, infrastructure as code, and even design powered by GitHub Copilot.
The quality consistently exceeds the output of our best traditional engineering teams.
A product repository houses all product artefacts, giving AI full project context for higher-quality generation.
A library of rules and prompts defines coding standards, design principles, and security guidelines, ensuring enterprise-grade quality and scalability.

With Gen-e2TM, we deliver end-to-end products 2–3× faster than traditional approaches, while raising the bar for engineering excellence.

Understand DevOps workflows and implement CI/CD automation pipelines.
Establish best practices on code quality and performance within project scope.

AI-Native Engineering (Core Expectation)

Use Generative AI coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor) as a first-class engineering assistant for code generation, optimisation, and problem-solving.
Guide team members on effective use of AI tools and prompt engineering techniques.
Establish AI/GenAI best practices within project scope, including output validation and guardrails.
Leverage AI tools to troubleshoot and resolve technical issues efficiently.
Stay current with emerging AI technologies and development practices.

AI-Native & Gen-E2 Skills (Required)

Hands-on, daily use of AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot or equivalent).
Strong understanding of prompt engineering principles for optimal AI tool interaction.
Experience validating and controlling GenAI outputs (hallucination handling, code review of AI-generated code).
Critical thinking to validate and verify AI-generated code and solutions.

Good to Have

Experience with AI/ML services and frameworks.
