- Build internal engineering platforms, self-service automation, paved roads, golden paths, reusable pipelines, developer tooling, documentation, and onboarding capabilities.
- Design durable workflows using technologies such as Temporal and Celery, including retries, approvals, state preservation, recovery, versioning, and audit history.
- Develop RESTful, event-driven, streaming, and standards-based integrations, data pipelines, service contracts, network source-of-truth integrations, and telemetry services.
- Build and operate containerized services and CI/CD, GitOps, infrastructure-as-code, configuration automation, testing, release, and environment-promotion capabilities.
- Establish reliability, observability, production-readiness, fault-injection, resilience-testing, capacity-testing, alerting, remediation, and evidence-capture practices.
- Develop governed AI-assisted engineering and knowledge services using retrieval-augmented generation, semantic search, structured outputs, tool integration, evaluation, and human approval.
- Embed identity, authorization, secrets management, least privilege, auditability, policy enforcement, and risk controls into platform architecture.
- Translate leadership priorities into technical strategy and roadmaps, lead reviews, mentor senior engineers and architects, and influence multiple teams without direct management authority.

- At least 3 years designing APIs, microservices, asynchronous services, event-driven systems, workflow services, or comparable distributed components.
- At least 3 years using Git-based workflows, pull requests, peer review, versioning, package management, CI/CD, automated testing, and release management.
- At least 3 years deploying or supporting containerized applications with Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift, or comparable orchestration platforms.
- At least 3 years integrating systems through REST APIs, webhooks, messaging, events, SDKs, or service interfaces.
- At least 3 years designing for scalability, availability, resilience, observability, security, and operational support.
- Bachelor’s or advanced degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Information Systems, Data Science, or a related technical field.
