Define enterprise guardrails for AI usage including source grounding, secure prompts, policy controls, and human review
Improve engineering KPIs using AI-assisted practices while preserving quality and compliance standards
Build reusable AI templates and playbooks for full stack teams
Drive modernized engineering ways of working that increase delivery velocity without compromising reliability, security, and compliance
Demonstrate practical understanding of AI frameworks used to build RAG solutions, agentic SDLC workflows, and AI-enabled business workflows wherever required
Security, Compliance, and Reliability
Enforce secure-by-design principles across UI, APIs, services, and data layers
Build observability-by-default with logs, metrics, traces, and business process monitoring
Ensure auditable change trails and reproducibility of critical business workflows
Drive SLO/SLI based engineering operations and incident readiness
Engineering Leadership
Mentor engineers and lead design and code review practices
Align delivery teams on architecture principles, coding standards, and non-functional requirements
Partner with product, architecture, and operations stakeholders on delivery roadmaps and risk management
Own technical outcomes from design through production support
Core Skills
Strong full stack engineering experience across modern frontend and backend ecosystems
Deep backend engineering in Java and related enterprise backend stacks (Spring Boot, API, integration, security, data access)
Strong frontend engineering with modern frameworks (React/Angular), accessibility, state management, and performance optimization
Strong Python engineering for custom cloud agents, enterprise automation, and service integrations where required
Distributed systems and event-driven architecture experience in production environments
Strong AWS cloud engineering understanding (compute, storage, networking, IAM, observability, serverless, and integration services)
Cloud-native engineering experience (Kubernetes, CI/CD, infrastructure automation, GitOps)
Strong observability, reliability, and incident response practices
Secure software engineering experience in regulated enterprise environments
Proven experience applying AI-native engineering practices in real delivery workflows
Strong data engineering fundamentals (data modeling, pipeline reliability, data quality, schema evolution, and performance tuning)
Strong engineering practices: clean architecture, secure coding, code review, testing strategy, documentation, and production readiness
Architecture and Leadership Skills
Ability to design end-to-end enterprise systems from UI to data and operations
Strong decision-making on architectural trade-offs and technical debt management
Experience influencing standards across multiple teams and delivery streams
Strong communication with both business and technical stakeholders
AI-Native Skills
