Strategically engage with professionals and managers across the enterprise and serve as an expert advisor to leadership
Stay hands-on. Turn difficult ideas and problems into prototypes, working software, reference implementations, and reusable engineering patterns
Help redefine how we build software in an AI-native world, from design and development through testing, modernization, operations, and maintenance
Challenge unnecessary complexity. Simplify architectures, automate repetitive work, and question assumptions that no longer make sense
Move quickly from idea to evidence. Prototype, test, learn, measure, and scale what works
Raise the technical bar across teams through coaching, pairing, design reviews, code reviews, and hands-on technical leadership
Make other engineers better. Create patterns, tools, and practices that allow teams to solve harder problems and move faster
Required Qualifications
7+ years of Engineering experience, or equivalent demonstrated through one or a combination of the following: work experience, training, military experience, education
Desired Qualifications
Deep hands-on software engineering experience designing and building complex enterprise applications and distributed systems
Strong engineering fundamentals across software design, APIs, cloud technologies, data and integration patterns, automated testing, CI/CD, observability, security, reliability, and production operations
Experience using generative AI and AI-assisted engineering tools to improve how software is built, tested, modernized, documented, operated, and supported
Experience experimenting with emerging AI capabilities such as large language models, retrieval-augmented generation, agentic systems, tool use, orchestration, and evaluation
Strong technical judgment. Know when AI is the right answer and, equally important, when it is not
Ability to simplify complex and legacy technology environments through better architecture, automation, APIs, modern engineering practices, and incremental modernization
Ability to take an ambiguous problem, break it down, build something, learn quickly, and turn the results into a scalable solution
Experience creating reusable engineering patterns and guardrails that make it easier for other engineers to build secure, reliable software
Ability to influence technical direction across teams without relying on organizational authority
Strong communication skills with the ability to make complex technical decisions understandable to engineers, business partners, risk partners, and leaders
A track record of developing other engineers through coaching, pairing, technical reviews, and knowledge sharing
Intellectual curiosity and the ability to learn quickly, question assumptions, and separate meaningful technology shifts from hype
Job Expectations
Remain hands-on with technology while operating as a technical leader across teams
Help build an AI-native engineering culture where AI becomes a practical part of how software is designed, built, tested, modernized, operated, and maintained
Build prototypes and reference implementations rather than relying only on presentations, recommendations, or architecture documents
Find practical opportunities to use AI and automation to reduce engineering toil, improve quality, accelerate delivery, and simplify technology
Establish clear engineering guardrails for AI, including security, testing, evaluation, observability, data protection, and appropriate human oversight
Challenge complexity and legacy assumptions. Look for the simpler solution
Experiment quickly, measure the results, keep what works, and discard what does not
Help teams move successful ideas from prototype to secure, reliable, production-quality solutions
Work across Engineering, Product, Architecture, Cybersecurity, Risk, and business teams to solve problems that cross traditional organizational boundaries
Coach engineers to strengthen their technical judgment, system design, AI fluency, and ability to independently solve difficult problems
Create leverage. Build patterns, capabilities, and knowledge that make multiple engineering teams more effective
Measure success through outcomes, including better software, faster delivery, less operational toil, simpler architecture, and stronger engineers
Keep learning. Technology will change. The expectation is that you will change with it
