The role requires someone who can navigate across application development, cloud infrastructure, databases, SaaS platforms and enterprise integrations, while balancing new development initiatives with complex production support responsibilities. We are particularly interested in an AI-enabled engineering leader who actively leverages AI tools and practices to improve software engineering productivity, accelerate delivery, enhance code quality and drive innovation. The candidate should be comfortable working with ambiguity, independently analyzing complex technical and functional problems, communicating effectively with diverse stakeholders and translating business requirements into practical technology solutions., Cloud & Infrastructure * Strong experience with AWS or equivalent cloud platforms. * Understanding of cloud-native architecture, serverless computing, containers, scalability, security and infrastructure automation. * Exposure to cloud migration, modernization and SaaS deployment models. Application & Web Technologies * Strong experience in Java-based enterprise application development. * Experience with Angular or React and modern web application architectures. * Understanding of REST APIs, microservices, enterprise integrations and distributed systems. * Exposure to SaaS products, multi-tenant architectures and platform-based application development. Databases & Data Platforms * Strong experience with Oracle or equivalent enterprise relational databases. * Exposure to NoSQL databases, data lakes and modern data platforms. * Ability to analyze database architecture, data models, query performance and integration patterns. * Understanding of data security, scalability and data management principles., * Experience in Media & Entertainment is highly valuable. * Understanding of media workflows, content lifecycle management, digital platforms, content distribution, metadata, rights management or media asset management would be an advantage. * Experience working with global engineering teams, enterprise platforms and Global Capability Centers (GCCs). * Exposure to SaaS products (ex. Salesforce CRM, SFDC) and large-scale enterprise technology ecosystems. Desired Leadership Attributes Strong Technical Depth: Commands respect through technical knowledge, architectural thinking and the ability to solve complex engineering problems. Architect Mindset with Hands-on Ability: Can operate at an enterprise architecture level but is equally comfortable diving into code, debugging and implementation when required. AI-First Engineering Mindset: Actively explores and adopts AI tools to improve the way software is designed, developed, tested and delivered. Comfortable with Ambiguity: Can work with incomplete requirements, navigate uncertainty and independently figure out solutions without waiting for detailed instructions. Strong Analytical Thinking: Capable of connecting technical and functional dots, performing deep-dive analysis and identifying underlying problems. Clear Communication: Communicates effectively across all levels, from developers to architects, business leaders and executives. Ownership & Accountability: Takes responsibility for technical outcomes, drives decisions and ensures issues and initiatives are taken to closure. Continuous Improvement: Constantly looks for opportunities to modernize technology, improve engineering practices, reduce technical debt and increase delivery effectiveness. ## Description 1.
