NICE TO HAVE HAVE:

AI-Augmented Development Tools

Coding assistants & agentic IDEs

  • GitHub Copilot (inline completion + Copilot Chat / Copilot Agent mode)

  • Cursor IDE — agentic, multi-file editing with natural language instructions

  • Windsurf (Codeium) — agentic coding with Cascade

  • JetBrains AI Assistant — relevant for Java/.NET leads already on IntelliJ/Rider

  • Continue.dev — open-source, self-hosted alternative (relevant for security-conscious clients)

Agentic coding / task automation

  • Claude Code — terminal-based agentic coding

  • Kilo Code — VS Code extension for agentic, multi-step coding tasks; open-source fork of Cline with strong local model support

  • OpenCode — terminal-native AI coding agent, model-agnostic; relevant for engineers who prefer CLI-first workflows or self-hosted setups

  • GitHub Copilot Agent mode

  • Devin, SWE-agent (awareness-level)

Practices & Mindset (the more differentiating signal)

  • Prompt engineering for code generation — writing effective, context-rich prompts; iterating on AI output rather than accepting it blindly

  • AI-assisted code review — using LLM tools to pre-screen PRs, catch patterns, suggest refactors

  • Test generation with AI — leveraging Copilot/Cursor to scaffold unit and integration tests

  • Context engineering — structuring repos, READMEs, and architecture docs so AI tools can reason over them effectively (this is the senior/lead differentiator)

  • Agentic workflow design — ability to break tasks into agent-executable steps; understanding when to use human-in-the-loop vs. autonomous execution

LLM & AI Platform Familiarity

  • OpenAI API / Azure OpenAI

  • Anthropic API (Claude)

  • AWS Bedrock or Google Vertex AI (for DevOps/cloud leads)

  • LangChain or LlamaIndex — basic understanding of RAG and chain patterns

AI-Augmented DevOps / Platform (for DevOps leads specifically)

  • AI-assisted IaC generation (Copilot + Terraform, Pulumi AI)

  • GitHub Actions with AI steps or LLM-based pipeline stages

  • Monitoring/observability tools with AI anomaly detection (Datadog AI, AWS DevOps Guru)
