Job responsibilities

Regularly provides technical guidance and direction to support the business and its technical teams, contractors, and vendors

Develops secure and high-quality production code, and reviews and debugs code written by others

Drives adoption and governance of approved AI-assisted engineering practices across teams to improve code quality, delivery speed, and operational outcomes (e.g., AI-assisted code review/refactoring, test acceleration, release readiness, incident/root-cause analysis), while establishing measurable validation standards (secure coding, peer review, automated testing) and promoting reuse of proven patterns and automation within the SDLC/TLM toolchain.

Establishes an enterprise-aligned operating model for AI-assisted engineering across teams (approved use cases, guardrails, RACI, auditability), ensuring consistent adoption that improves throughput and quality without increasing risk.

Defines and enforces measurable validation standards for AI-assisted changes (mandatory peer review, secure coding controls, automated test thresholds, performance/regression checks, release readiness criteria) and embeds them into CI/CD quality gates.

Applies knowledge of tools within the Software Development Life Cycle toolchain, including approved AI-assisted development and automation capabilities, to improve the value realized by automation s the enterprise toolchain strategy and target-state architecture across planning, source control, build, test, security, deployment, and observability—driving standardization and reducing fragmentation across teams.

Establishes “automation-at-scale” governance (golden pipelines, shared libraries/templates, reference implementations, and platform guardrails) to accelerate delivery while maintaining resiliency and security expectations.

Drives decisions that influence the product design, application functionality, and technical operations and processes

Serves as a function-wide subject matter expert in one or more areas of focus

Actively contributes to the engineering community as an advocate of firmwide frameworks, tools, and practices of the Software Development Life Cycle Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills

Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and advanced applied experience in Python
