  • DevOps & Quality: Champion CI/CD, infrastructure as code, automated testing, observability, and operational excellence.
  • Innovation: Lead proof-of-concepts, assess new technologies, and drive adoption of solutions that deliver measurable business value.
  • Cross-Team Influence: Collaborate across teams to establish engineering standards and influence organization-wide technical initiatives.
  • Ownership: Set a high bar for code quality, tackle complex technical challenges, and demonstrate strong ownership and initiative.

  • 10+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years in a technical leadership or lead engineer role.
  • Proven experience leading AI integration efforts and applying AI technologies to real-world software solutions.
