  • AI-Assisted Software Engineering: Champion the use of generative AI tools and agentic coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, custom LLM agents) to streamline the software development lifecycle, automate testing, and accelerate CI/CD pipelines.
  • Product & Requirements Management: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate business goals into technical requirements, user stories, and test suites within an Agile framework.
  • Technical Design & Architecture: Author comprehensive technical design documents, system architecture diagrams, and API specifications to ensure scalable, secure, and maintainable solutions.
  • Modern Operations & DevOps: Build robust CI/CD deployment pipelines, integrate automated security/quality scanning, and implement modern Identity & Access Management (IAM) and automated credential rotation.
  • Reliability & Continuous Improvement: Participate in proactive problem management, root cause analysis (RCA), and incident resolution to ensure high availability of critical analytical systems., Build and operate scalable full-stack software and AI-powered products for physical operations. Own technically complex areas, define technical strategy, develop backend services, APIs, frontend and potentially mobile experiences, and translate customer problems into measurable outcomes. Lead cross-team initiatives, mentor engineers, participate in technical reviews, and raise engineering quality and velocity.
