- Own features throughout their lifecycle: discovery, design, implementation, rollout, telemetry, and operational support
- Translate ambiguous challenges into scalable platform capabilities
- 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.
- Partner with controls and audit stakeholders to implement effective, low-friction engineering controls
- Influence engineering standards and best practices across a broad developer community
- Design and implement IDE and editor capabilities for smarter navigation and code intelligence
- Drive AI adoption in local development tools to enhance software development practices
- Develop static analysis and auto-remediation tools to prevent errors before production
- Build test frameworks and scheduling systems for large-scale workloads, including cloud-based execution
- Create platform tooling to identify code duplication, dead code, and opportunities for codebase simplification
Required Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills:
- Strong software engineering fundamentals and passion for developer tooling
- Proficiency in multiple programming languages, with emphasis on Python; familiarity with TypeScript/React and SQL for full stack development
- Solid understanding of testing, reliability, and maintainable system design
- 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
- Ability to operate independently in ambiguous problem spaces and collaborate effectively across teams
- Skill in turning loosely defined requirements into robust, widely adopted solutions
- Working knowledge of modern engineering workflows, including testing, CI/CD, static analysis, version control, and deployment
Preferred Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills:
- Experience building developer tools or platforms at scale
- Familiarity with large-scale Python codebases
- Exposure to AI-driven development tools and practices
