Job responsibilities

• Executes creative software solutions, design, development, and technical troubleshooting with ability to think beyond routine or conventional approaches to build solutions or breakdown technical problems
• Develops secure and high-quality production code, and reviews and debugs code written by others
• Drives team adoption of enterprise-authorized AI-assisted engineering practices within the work environment to improve code quality, delivery speed, and operational outcomes (e.g., AI-assisted code review/refactoring, test strategy acceleration, incident/root-cause analysis support), while establishing consistent validation standards (secure coding, peer review, automated testing) and promoting reuse of effective patterns across the team.
• Applies knowledge of tools within the Software Development Life Cycle toolchain, including enterprise-authorized AI-assisted development and automation capabilities, to improve the value realized by automation.
• Identifies opportunities to eliminate or automate remediation of recurring issues to improve overall operational stability of software applications and systems
• Leads evaluation sessions with internal teams to drive outcomes-oriented probing of architectural designs, technical credentials, and applicability for use within existing systems and information architecture
• Designs and evolves platform components and data pipelines leveraging technologies such as Apache Flink, ClickHouse, Trino, dbt, Kestra, Apache Iceberg, and PostgreSQL, with a strong focus on resiliency, observability, and secure-by-design implementation. Builds and integrates micro front-ends and user interfaces to deliver usable workflows and interfaces for internal stakeholders.

Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills

• Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 5+ years applied experience
• Hands-on practical experience delivering system design, application development, testing, and operational stability
• Advanced in one or more programming language(s)
• Demonstrated experience leading effective use of approved AI-assisted software development tools (e.g., for coding, code review, test acceleration, troubleshooting) with the ability to set team expectations for validating AI outputs for correctness, performance, and security.
• Strong understanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows, including data sensitivity considerations, secure handling of inputs/outputs, and adherence to resiliency and security expectations; experience coaching engineers on safe, compliant adoption within delivery practices
• Proficient in all aspects of the Software Development Life Cycle
• Advanced understanding of agile methodologies such as CI/CD, Application Resiliency, and Security

Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills

• Experience operating distributed data platforms in production (e.g., Apache Flink, Trino), including reliability, performance tuning, and operational support.
• Experience designing and building data pipelines and data models with strong data quality, lineage, and recoverability patterns; familiarity with orchestration solutions, dbt, and lakehouse table formats such as Apache Iceberg.
• Experience delivering solutions across hybrid environments (on‑premises and public cloud), including secure connectivity patterns, observability, access controls, and cost/performance considerations.
• Strong backend engineering experience (e.g., Java for platform services and Python for automation/integration).
• Experience building modern user interfaces and micro-frontends with JavaScript or TypeScript and frameworks such as React or Angular.
• Strong ability to work independently to identify problems end to end and deliver solutions - applying design thinking and troubleshooting to drive issues to root cause and resolution.
