⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Focusing too much on backend engineering without emphasizing customer-facing skills and deployment experience.
  • Ignoring the AI component – this role explicitly requires AI-assisted development, so failing to mention LLM or agent experience is a miss.
  • Being generic about sustainability – show genuine interest and knowledge about ESG challenges, not just buzzwords.
