• Develop robust APIs, middleware, and data synchronization pipelines that keep business-critical data accurate and consistent across systems.
• Translate business processes into technical workflows in partnership with IT, operations, and finance teams.
• Ensure integrations are auditable, fault-tolerant, and compliant with data governance requirements in the US and EU.

3. CMS & Digital Experience

• Architect and extend CMS platforms, including headless and API-first implementations, to support fast, flexible content delivery across web and mobile channels.
• Build content models, custom modules, and publishing workflows that empower non-technical teams.
• Optimize content delivery through CDNs, caching, and front-end performance best practices.
• Design, build, and deploy AI-powered features such as LLM-based assistants, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), recommendations, classification, and process automation.
• Integrate machine learning models and third-party AI APIs into production systems with attention to latency, cost, evaluation, and safety.
• Establish practices for prompt management, model evaluation, monitoring, and responsible AI use.
• Collaborate with data teams to build pipelines that prepare and serve data for AI workloads.

5. Technical Leadership

• Mentor and support mid-level and junior engineers through code reviews, pairing, and design discussions.
• Write and review technical design documents and contribute to long-term technical roadmaps.
• Set and uphold high standards for code quality, testing, security, and documentation.
• Communicate trade-offs clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
