  • Experience with distributed systems and web technologies, including RESTful APIs, web services, WebSockets, and JSON.
  • Experience working with agile development methodologies (e.g., Scrum) and a strong understanding of the software development life cycle.
  • Understanding of application resiliency and secure engineering practices.
  • Proficiency in automation and continuous delivery methods (CI/CD), including improving build, test, and deployment pipelines.
  • Demonstrated experience leading effective use of approved AI-assisted software development tools (e.g., for coding, code review, test acceleration, troubleshooting) 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 and outputs, and adherence to resiliency and security expectations; experience coaching engineers on safe, compliant adoption within delivery practices., * Strong soft skills, including presentation, negotiation, mentoring, and stakeholder management.
  • Strong problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
