Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 5+ years applied experience; Hands-on practical experience delivering system design, application development, testing, and operational stability
The successful candidate demonstrates deep distributed-systems engineering expertise in Python/Java plus strong platform, delivery, and production-operability discipline; Recent hands-on software development experience in large-scale distributed systems, primarily Python and modern microservices.
Strong Python experience for AI/ML engineering, automation, model operationalization, and agentic AI services, including tool integration, monitoring, telemetry, and governance; Strong experience with REST APIs and service-oriented / microservices architecture.
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
Experience developing in Linux environments.
Strong Kubernetes orchestration experience (building, deploying, and operating production services).
Messaging expertise with Kafka, MQ, or similar platforms.
Experience with backend infrastructure patterns (e.g., load balancing, autoscaling; Experience with NoSQL databases such as Cassandra; Experience with log analytics / observability tools (e.g., ELK, Splunk).
Strong SDLC knowledge and agile ways of working, including CI/CD, application resiliency, security, testing, and operational stability; Strong communication skills and proven ability to influence across senior technology and business stakeholders.
AI/ML platform exposure (MLOps, feature engineering, model hosting/operationalization; AWS and/or hybrid on-prem + cloud); Agentic AI experience: building and operating LLM-driven agents with tool integration, monitoring/telemetry, and governance/audit considerations.
