- Design and deliver robust full-stack solutions using Java/Spring Boot and React/TypeScript, applying strong engineering judgment to meet non-functional requirements including security, resiliency, and performance
- Own end-to-end delivery of features across the software development lifecycle including requirements, design, coding, testing, deployment, and production support, with clear accountability for outcomes
- Build modern, containerized microservices and platform capabilities, including domain modeling, data design, and secure, high-quality production code while raising standards through code reviews, debugging, and refactoring
- Lead technical design and architecture discussions, partnering with stakeholders and aligning designs with relevant architecture standards and forums
- Develop backend services and APIs integrating with relational databases, search platforms, and enterprise systems
- Create and evolve operational UI/console experiences in React/TypeScript, partnering with engineering and product teams to deliver usable workflows
- Design and implement event-driven and streaming architectures using Kafka, including topic design, schema/contract strategy, and resilient producer/consumer patterns
- Contribute directly to operational stability and reliability by leading incident response and root cause analysis, reducing repeat incidents via preventative controls and automation, and enhancing observability
- 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
- Mentor and develop engineers through design reviews and communities of practice, fostering a culture of diversity, inclusion, opportunity, and respect
Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills
- Hands-on expertise in system design, application development, testing, and operational stability in large-scale enterprise environments, including event-driven architectures and streaming patterns (Kafka)
- Advanced proficiency in Java and building services with Spring Boot
- Hands-on experience building modern frontend applications using React with TypeScript
- Experience building and consuming APIs (REST and/or GraphQL) and integrating with downstream systems
- Experience with relational databases and SQL
- Working knowledge of search/indexing concepts, including designing and querying Elasticsearch indexes
- Proficiency across the full software development lifecycle and agile practices, including CI/CD, automation, and modern engineering tools: Jira, Confluence, IntelliJ IDEA, VS Code, Maven, Git, Jenkins, Spinnaker, Sonar, and enterprise-approved AI code assistants
- Hands-on experience with monitoring, tracing, and troubleshooting tools such as log aggregation platforms, API testing tools, and observability dashboards
- Hands-on experience using enterprise-authorized AI-assisted software development tools within the work environment (e.g., for coding, test creation, troubleshooting, or documentation) with demonstrated ability to critically evaluate, validate, and refine AI-generated outputs for correctness, performance, and security.
- Understanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows, including data sensitivity considerations, secure handling of inputs/outputs, and adherence to resiliency and security expectations; ability to guide peers on safe and effective usage within team practices.
- Demonstrated “automation-first” mindset: experience designing and operationalizing enterprise-authorized AI-assisted or agentic automations that reduce manual effort across SDLC, CI/CD, and continuous improvement driven by measurable outcomes.
Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills
- Working knowledge of Python for scripting, automation, or service development
- Knowledge of agentic frameworks such as Google ADK or LangChain
- Experience with .NET, including building and supporting enterprise services and the ability to work across multiple technology stacks
