In this role, you will move beyond individual contribution to drive architectural decisions, set engineering standards, and lead the technical direction of our core platforms. You will act as a "Tech Lead of Tech Leads," working across squads to solve complex distributed system challenges while ensuring our platform remains scalable, secure, and performant. While this is an Individual Contributor (IC) role, you will be expected to mentor senior engineers and partner closely with Product and Engineering leadership. As a Staff Engineer, you won't just use AI tools-you will architect the foundations, developer harnesses, and domain-specific skills that make AI a reliable, high-impact force multiplier across our entire engineering organization., * Technical Strategy & Architecture: Design and architect healthcare application using Java (Spring Boot) and AWS. You will be the "go-to" person for the hardest technical challenges.. * Hands-on Engineering: While you will lead design, you are expected to stay hands-on (approx. 40-50% coding), writing critical path code, POCs, and reviewing complex PRs. * Tech Leadership: Define and enforce coding standards, design patterns, and quality gates. Lead technical grooming sessions and architecture reviews. * Mentorship: Elevate the team's technical bar. Mentor Senior and Mid-level engineers through code reviews, pair programming, and design discussions. * Operational Excellence: Champion DevOps culture. Own the reliability, observability, and performance of production systems (CI/CD, monitoring, alerting). * Cross-Functional Collaboration: Translate complex technical concepts into business value for stakeholders. Work with Product Managers to assess feasibility and trade-offs. * Architect AI Training & Execution Harnesses: Design and build robust, scalable developer harnesses and evaluation pipelines (Evals) to fine-tune, evaluate, and deploy domain-specific AI models and agents safely and efficiently. * Design & Systematize "AI Skills": Translate complex domain knowledge and proprietary business logic into structured, reusable toolsets, prompt frameworks, and APIs ("skills") that enable AI models to perform specialized engineering and business tasks.
