• Foster a team culture of diversity, inclusion, opportunity, and respect

Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills

• Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and proficient applied experience
• Hands-on experience using enterprise-authorized AI-assisted software development tools within the work environment (e.g., for coding, testing, troubleshooting, or documentation) with demonstrated ability to critically evaluate and validate AI-generated outputs
• Understanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows, including data sensitivity considerations, secure handling of inputs/outputs, and adherence to resiliency and security expectations
• Practical experience with Microsoft Azure; hands-on expertise with other public clouds such as AWS or Google Cloud will also be considered
• Hands-on experience with Terraform for infrastructure as code to manage cloud resources efficiently
• Proficiency in one or more programming languages, such as Java, Python, or Go
• Experience working within software development practices such as Agile, Scrum, or DevOps
