• Design and deliver secure, resilient, high-performance services and user experiences for enterprise-scale managed-account platforms.
• Lead technical discovery, solution design, complexity estimation, and implementation for high-impact initiatives.
• Coach engineers via code reviews, pairing, technical stories, and pragmatic engineering standards.
• Drive adoption of enterprise-approved AI-assisted engineering practices to improve quality, speed, and operational outcomes.
• Apply appropriate architectural patterns (DDD, microservices, event-driven, cloud-native) where they add clear value.
• Use AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Git Hub Copilot) to accelerate understanding, delivery, testing, debugging, docs, and modernization.
• Create high-quality prompts and reusable guidance that provide AI agents with necessary business, architecture, and repo context.
• Validate all AI-generated changes (secure coding, peer review, automated testing), keep edits focused, protect sensitive data, and remain accountable for outcomes.
• Improve CI/CD, test automation, developer experience, and operational readiness by reducing manual effort and tightening feedback loops.

• Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 5+ years applied experience
• 10+ years of hands-on enterprise software engineering experience using Java, J2EE, REST APIs, Spring Boot, Hibernate or another ORM, microservices, and relational databases such as Oracle or Sybase.
• 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
• Strong experience designing highly scalable, secure, resilient, and observable distributed systems.
• Deep understanding of object-oriented design, Domain-Driven Design, microservices patterns, client-server architecture, and modern cloud-native architectures.
• Strong test-driven development skills and practical experience with JUnit, Mockito, Cucumber, or comparable automation frameworks.
• Proficiency in SQL, complex queries, joins, stored procedures, views, indexes, and database change management;
  Liquibase experience is beneficial.
