- Lead development of AI-driven capabilities, including LLM-based services, orchestration, and integrations into business workflows; establish patterns that are reusable across squads.
- Drive team adoption of enterprise-authorized AI-assisted engineering practices (e.g., CoPilot, Claude) to improve code quality, delivery speed, and operational outcomes; set consistent validation standards (secure coding, peer review, automated testing) and promote reuse.
- Establish and enforce engineering standards across the team (coding standards, API guidelines, testing strategy, dependency management, documentation expectations, and operational readiness).
- Own reliability outcomes for key services: define SLIs/SLOs, lead incident response and RCA/postmortems, and drive continuous improvements to stability, latency, and cost.
- Lead observability and operational automation strategy (logs/metrics/tracing, alert quality, runbooks, auto-remediation) to reduce recurring issues and improve MTTR.
- Drive CI/CD maturity and safe delivery practices (quality gates, canary/blue-green, feature flags, rollback strategy), enabling predictable releases and zero/low downtime changes.
- Mentor and grow engineers (senior and junior) through technical coaching, architecture reviews, and feedback; cultivate a culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement.
- Communicate status, risks, and tradeoffs clearly across stakeholders; manage priorities and dependencies across multiple initiatives while operating effectively in Agile/Scrum.

- Experience with distributed systems concepts (scalability, resiliency, concurrency, idempotency, failure modes, and performance tuning) and ability to guide design reviews.
- Proven 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 within the work environment, with demonstrated ability to evaluate, validate, and refine AI-generated outputs for correctness, performance, and security.
- Demonstrated experience leading effective team use of approved AI-assisted development practices (coding, code review, test acceleration, troubleshooting), including establishing team expectations and reusable validation patterns.
- Hands-on experience with Large Language Models (LLMs) and generative AI use cases (e.g., RAG, summarization/extraction, workflow assistants), including evaluation and monitoring considerations.
- Understanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows (data sensitivity, safe handling of inputs/outputs, resiliency/security expectations) and ability to guide peers on safe and effective usage.
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills; ability to drive alignment, resolve ambiguity, and deliver outcomes across multiple initiatives.
Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills:
- AWS cloud certification(s).
