• Hands‑on Java/J2EE and Python development experience, with strong depth in Spring Boot and REST API design
• AWS platform/infrastructure engineering experience, including designing and operating cloud workloads
• Hands‑on experience operating Kubernetes in high‑availability environments, including deployments and incident troubleshooting
• Strong Infrastructure-as-Code experience with Terraform (modules, state management, secure provisioning practices)
• Production support experience using observability/APM tooling (e.g., Splunk, Datadog, Dynatrace), including root‑cause analysis and reliability improvements
• Experience with testing practices and frameworks (e.g., JUnit, Mockito) and performance testing tools (e.g., JMeter/BlazeMeter or equivalent)
• Solid grounding in domain‑driven design, microservices patterns, resiliency patterns, and operating services under change/incident management controls
• Demonstrated experience leading effective use of approved AI‑assisted software development tools 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

Responsibilities

• Lead the design, build, and day‑to‑day operation of cloud platform capabilities and production environments at scale, emphasizing resiliency, security, and reliability
• Build and maintain secure Java (Java 17+) and Spring Boot services, including RESTful APIs, with strong code review and debugging
• Implement Infrastructure-as-Code / Everything-as-Code using Terraform, including secure provisioning and policy controls where applicable
• Enable and support safe release practices (e.g., rolling and blue/green deployments) for high‑availability, high‑scale services
• Improve operational stability by eliminating recurring issues and automating remediation/runbooks where appropriate
• Apply SRE‑aligned practices (SLIs/SLOs, error budgets, incident response) and participate in formal change and incident management processes
• Use observability and APM tooling (e.g., Splunk, Datadog, Dynatrace) to monitor, troubleshoot, and improve production services
• Deliver CI/CD in a "you build it, you own it" culture using Git and enterprise pipelines (e.g., Jules, Spinnaker, or similar)
• Prototype and deliver AI‑enabled/agentic workflows and translate stakeholder needs into technical designs
• Mentor engineers and partner with application teams to drive best practices across reliability, performance, risk, cybersecurity, and legal/compliance requirements
