• Lead with a hands-on mindset: stay close to design and implementation, unblock delivery, and drive engineering excellence through code reviews, architecture guidance, and pragmatic decision-making
• Be accountable for decisions that influence teams’ resources, budget, tactical operations, and the execution and implementation of processes and procedures, especially as priorities shift in a fast-moving AI domain
• Establish and iterate on AI development strategies for use-case delivery, including LLM integration approaches, evaluation strategies, prompt/context management, orchestration patterns, and safe deployment practices
• Ensure successful collaboration across teams and stakeholders in multiple locations, partnering closely with product team representation to align on outcomes, milestones, tradeoffs, and sequencing
• Manage and prioritize multiple concurrent requests and initiatives, balancing near-term delivery with platform health, operational readiness, and long-term technical direction
• Drive cloud-native engineering practices leveraging AWS services and modern data/storage patterns, ensuring solutions are scalable, observable, secure, and cost-aware
• Promote strong engineering fundamentals across the stack, including API design, data modeling, resiliency, testing discipline, CI/CD, and operational excellence
• Identifies and mitigates issues to execute a book of work while escalating issues as necessary
• Provides input to leadership regarding budget, approach, and technical considerations to improve operational efficiencies and functionality for the team
• Creates a culture of diversity, opportunity, inclusion, and respect for team members and prioritizes diverse representation

Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills

• Formal training or certification on Software Engineering concepts and 5+ years applied experience. In addition, 2 + years of experience leading technologists to manage and solve complex technical items within your domain of expertise.

• Experience leading teams of technologists.
• Ability to guide and coach teams on approach to achieve goals aligned against a set of strategic initiatives
• Strong software engineering foundation with hands-on experience building services in Java and Python, working with databases, and using modern integration patterns.
• Working knowledge of AI/LLM-enabled application development, including prompt/context design, orchestration and agentic patterns, and evaluation/quality approaches.
• Hands-on experience using AI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or firm-approved equivalents) to accelerate secure, high-quality development, test automation, and code review within enterprise guardrails.

• Ability to set clear technical direction while remaining flexible and adaptive in a rapidly evolving problem space (e.g., AI-enabled product development).

   

• Demonstrated experience partnering with product leaders and stakeholders to translate ambiguous requirements into actionable technical plans and measurable delivered results.
• Experience hiring, developing, and recognizing talent, with a track record of building strong engineering culture and effective feedback mechanisms.

• Practical cloud-native experience designing, deploying, and operating production systems on AWS.

   

• Experience in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field and expertise in technology disciplines.

Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills

• Experience working at code level, including contributing to production-grade services, debugging complex issues, and setting engineering standards through exemplars.
• Experience building AI-assisted and AI-native software systems, including LLM integration patterns, tool/skill design, retrieval/context enrichment, and agentic workflow orchestration.
• Experience operating distributed systems in AWS (e.g., compute, storage, messaging, observability), with a track record of reliability and cost-aware scaling
• Experience balancing delivery across multiple concurrent initiatives while managing dependencies across teams and stakeholder groups.
• Experience with cloud-native DevOps practices, including CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation), and automated testing in distributed environments.
