In this role, you'll make an impact in the following ways:

• Serve as a senior hands-on engineer contributing directly to application design, coding, review, and modernization efforts.
• Develop and enhance full stack solutions using Java, SQL, and Angular across business-critical applications and services. Use AI-assisted engineering tools to accelerate software design, development, testing, and delivery while maintaining strong engineering quality standards.
• Partner with product and platform stakeholders to translate complex business and operational requirements into scalable technical solutions.
• Own the target-state architecture for the service in the public cloud, including infrastructure, application hosting patterns, scaling, resiliency, and operational support models.
• Define and implement the right cloud-native components and platform services to modernize the current application stack and improve reliability, efficiency, and scalability.
• Lead decisions on proper sizing, scaling, capacity planning, and performance optimization for cloud-hosted solutions.
• Establish and refine CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation, environment management, and release controls.
• Partner directly with public cloud providers and internal infrastructure teams to optimize architecture, service consumption, scalability, and operational resilience.
• Drive a DevOps culture with strong ownership of build, deployment, release automation, monitoring, incident readiness, and continuous improvement.
• Improve platform observability through metrics, logging, alerting, and health monitoring.
• Champion reliability engineering principles, including fault tolerance, disaster recovery, and high availability design.

To be successful in this role, we're seeking the following:

• Advanced degree in computer science or a related discipline, or equivalent work experience required.
