AI information from the Software Manager: We use AI tools as well as develop AI solutions. The developers’ primary AI tool is Codeium Windsurf. If a candidate is unfamiliar with the tool, that is okay. It is basically Visual Studio Code with AI utilities built in that help write some of the more tedious things. We are just getting started building AI products. We are not building low-level tools but integrating with existing AWS AI tools and APIs that leverage AI. Our first use case is machine learning, which helps resolve human data input into single data entities, but more will follow.
