Multi-Platform Strategy: Collaborate with the cross-functional teams (e.g., data engineering team) to define data architecture strategy across relational (SQL Server, PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (DocumentDB) platforms; across environments and similarly collaborative with the infrastructure teams to have better infrastructure strategy in place that targets towards cost-saving on a long-term basis.
Problem solving & Troubleshooting: Active participation in the incident management process and contributing PIRs, taking ownership/accountability for a quick turn-around to resolve the incident.
Delivery Automation & AI Strategy:
CI/CD & Quality Rigor: Champion deployment automation across Origin CI, Kargo, and WoK, ensuring comprehensive unit, functional, Playwright E2E, and Performance, Scalability, and Reliability (PSR) testing.
AI Framework Governance: Pioneer spec-driven AI development by championing the BMAD framework to standardize, govern, and scale AI-assisted coding (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot) and reusable skill libraries.
Required Qualifications:
Experience: 12+ years of progressive software development experience, with a proven track record operating as a Staff Engineer, Principal Engineer, or Lead Architect in enterprise product environments.
Architectural Mastery: Demonstrated history of making company-level architectural decisions, pitching complex technical solutions to non-technical stakeholders, and anchoring multi-team initiatives.
Core Tech Stack: Advanced proficiency in C#, .NET (ABP framework), Go, gRPC, TypeScript, and database engineering (PostgreSQL / DocumentDB).
