Expertise designing and building microservices and RESTful APIs, with strong knowledge of data technologies and integration patterns.
Hands-on experience building cloud-native systems on at least one major cloud platform: AWS, GCP, or Azure.
Experience with distributed systems concepts, including scalability, resiliency, concurrency, idempotency, failure modes, and performance tuning.
Ability to influence product design and technical direction by proposing pragmatic architectures, tradeoffs, and standards aligned to firm SDLC, security, and controls expectations.
Hands-on experience using enterprise-authorized AI-assisted software development tools in a work environment, including evaluating, validating, and refining AI-generated outputs for correctness, performance, and security.
Experience leading effective team use of approved AI-assisted development practices for coding, code review, test acceleration, and troubleshooting, including setting expectations and reusable validation patterns.
Hands-on experience with Large Language Models and generative AI use cases such as RAG, summarization, extraction, and workflow assistants, including evaluation and monitoring considerations.
Understanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows, including data sensitivity, safe handling of inputs and outputs, and resiliency and security expectations; ability to guide peers on safe and effective usage.
Ability to deliver across multiple initiatives and drive outcomes through ambiguity.

Responsibilities

Design and develop full-stack software solutions using approaches aligned to business outcomes.

Mentor and develop engineers through code reviews, pairing, technical guidance, and feedback; promote engineering excellence and continuous improvement.
Establish and own engineering standards across the team, including architecture patterns, coding standards, testing strategy, and operational readiness.
Define and operate service reliability practices, including SLIs/SLOs, incident response, root-cause analysis, postmortems, and continuous reliability improvements.
Identify recurring operational issues and automate remediation to improve system stability and observability through logs, metrics, and tracing.
Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and release strategies, including quality gates, canary and blue-green deployments, rollback, and feature flags.
Communicate status and risks; manage priorities and dependencies across initiatives; collaborate in a Scrum team and participate in Agile ceremonies.
Deliver production code primarily in Java, with Python as needed, using AWS such as ECS and related technologies.

Desired Qualifications

AWS cloud certification(s).
AI/ML or GenAI certification(s), or equivalent practical experience delivering LLM-enabled capabilities.
Advanced Java proficiency as the primary language and working knowledge of Python.
Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and modern CI/CD practices.
Experience with multi-region deployments, disaster recovery, and zero-downtime release patterns.
Strong understanding of responsible AI practices, including prompt and agent safety patterns and secure handling of sensitive data.
Track record delivering scalable, reliable, and secure products from concept to launch in a regulated environment.
