• 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 senior engineers/leads on compliant usage patterns and controls.

• Advanced knowledge of refactoring techniques, domain‑driven design, and object‑oriented design patterns; experience evolving legacy codebases safely.
• Experience designing and implementing distributed services and event driven architectures.
• Experience with GoLang or Rust programming languages.
• Experience with behavior driven development test tools such as Cucumber.
