In addition, 5+ years of experience leading technologists to manage, anticipate and solve complex technical items within your domain of expertise. * Deep, current, hands-on expertise developing on AWS with serverless design patterns (e.g., Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, EventBridge, Step Functions) * Expert in designing and operating multi-region active-active applications with high-availability, resiliency, and disaster-recovery patterns for systems that must never go down * Strong programming expertise in Java with the Spring Boot and broader Spring framework (e.g., Spring Cloud, Spring Security), and in Python with modern frameworks (e.g., FastAPI, Flask) * Modern full-stack development across Web, Mobile, and conversational interfaces, including front-end frameworks (e.g., React, TypeScript) and API-first design using GraphQL and REST * Demonstrated experience with AI-native development-agentic workflows, prompt engineering, and loop engineering-using tools such as Claude Code, Copilot, or similar * Experience building MCP servers and custom agents integrated with conversational/chatbot platforms (e.g., Moveworks), engineered for high accuracy and hallucination mitigation * Strong command of CI/CD, test-driven development (TDD), Infrastructure as Code, and Pipeline as Code, with automated testing and security embedded in pipelines * Domain experience building applications across Compensation, Benefits, Payroll, or Time * Experience leading adoption of agentic AI-enabled engineering practices (using enterprise-authorized tools within the work environment) across teams, including defining operating expectations (human-in-the-loop validation, quality gates), measuring outcomes, and ensuring secure handling of sensitive inputs/outputs. * Strong understanding of responsible AI use and control expectations in engineering workflows, including data sensitivity, resiliency/security implications, and governance; ability to influence leaders on safe scaling patterns and reuse. Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills * Experience with microservices and event-driven architecture using frameworks such as Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, and messaging/streaming platforms (e.g., Kafka) * Experience with containerization and orchestration (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes) and GitOps-based deployment on AWS * Experience integrating large vendor/payroll ecosystems and delivering end-to-end automation toward touchless processing * Experience evaluating and operationalizing emerging GenAI/agentic tooling with strong controls in an enterprise setting * Experience leading globally distributed engineering teams * Proven experience building secure code using guardrails appropriate for a highly regulated industry ## Description * Architects, builds, and operates custom, highly scalable applications on AWS using serverless design patterns, delivering mission-critical Compensation, Benefits, Payroll, and Time capabilities * Designs and runs multi-region active-active applications engineered for continuous availability-resilient, self-healing, and built to never go down-for a large, regulated, globally distributed enterprise * Leads hands-on development across the full stack-Web, Mobile, and conversational chat-building robust services with Java and Spring Boot, Python, and modern front-end frameworks, and setting standards for clean, secure, testable, and maintainable code * Drives AI-native engineering: agentic development workflows, prompt and loop engineering, and AI-assisted development with Claude Code, Copilot, or similar tools to accelerate delivery while maintaining strong controls * Builds MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers and custom agents that drive accurate, low-latency interactions with conversational platforms such as Moveworks-engineered for high accuracy and no hallucinations through grounding, tool/function calling, and guardrails * Establishes and enforces modern engineering practices-CI/CD, test-driven development (TDD), Infrastructure as Code, Pipeline as Code, automated security scanning, and observability * Manages and continuously innovates across a portfolio of applications, balancing rapid, iterative delivery with operational stability, security, and compliance-by-design * Champions secure-by-design development with guardrails appropriate for a highly regulated industry, supporting controls, statutory and tax considerations, segregation of duties, and access management * Partners with product, platform, and operations stakeholders to translate needs into pragmatic, high-quality technical solutions; hires, mentors, and grows strong engineers; and champions the firm's culture of diversity, opportunity, inclusion, and respect * Sets direction and governance for agentic AI-enabled engineering and SDLC/TLM automation within a technical area to drive measurable improvements in speed, quality, and operational outcomes (e.g., AI-orchestrated delivery workflows, release readiness controls, automated test modernization, and incident triage acceleration), while establishing guardrails for validation, security, resiliency, traceability, and reuse across teams. * Applies knowledge of tools within the Software Development Life Cycle toolchain, including enterprise-authorized AI-assisted development and automation capabilities, to improve the value realized by automation and support capacity unlock initiatives at scale. ## Related Videos - [Agentic employees in world's most downloaded FinTech app](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100123-agentic-employees-in-world-s-most-downloaded-fintech-app) - [Intro to FastAPI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/462-intro-to-fastapi) - [Putting the Graph In GraphQL With The Neo4j GraphQL Library](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/257-putting-the-graph-in-graphql-with-the-neo4j-graphql-library) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Enterprise-Cloud-Native - Fast-Paced Development & Deployment in a Highly Secure Banking Environment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/671-enterprise-cloud-native-fast-paced-development-deployment-in-a-highly-secure-banking-environment) - [Building and Deploying Multi-Agent Systems with ADK and Vertex AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1918-building-and-deploying-multi-agent-systems-with-adk-and-vertex-ai) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [What is Agentic Programming and Why Should Developers Care?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/625-what-is-agentic-programming-and-why-should-developers-care) - [What is Software Engineering in the Age of AI?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/640-what-is-software-engineering-in-the-age-of-ai) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou - Making AI understandable for all in production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/475-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou-making-ai-understandable-for-all-in-production)
