  • Review designs, identify gaps, challenge assumptions, clarify dependencies, and help remove technical ambiguity that blocks delivery

  • Produce and maintain engineering design artifacts, implementation notes, operational runbooks, decision records, readiness documentation, and knowledge-transfer materials

  • Performance, Resiliency & Problem Investigation

  • Investigate and help resolve a wide array of technical problems, including low-latency application concerns, batch-processing challenges, environment issues, platform integration gaps, and production-readiness risks

  • Analyze complex technical symptoms, identify likely root causes, engage the right technical partners, and drive toward practical remediation options

  • Support engineering decisions in multifaceted situations using strong technical judgment, data-driven analysis, and enterprise risk awareness

  • Promote resilient, secure, observable, and maintainable designs that support production operations and long-term platform health

Required Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of Technology Infrastructure Engineering and Solutions experience, or equivalent demonstrated through one or a combination of the following: work experience, training, military experience, education

  • 5+ years of experience defining, designing, or delivering infrastructure, platform, middleware, application, or enterprise technology solutions

  • 5+ years of experience working across large-scale enterprise environments, including on-premises, private cloud, or hybrid technology platforms

Desired Qualifications:

  • Experience with DevSecOps, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, configuration management, vulnerability scanning, secure SDLC, and production-release controls

  • Experience with performance analysis, latency-sensitive applications, high-volume batch workloads, capacity considerations, and resiliency design.

  • Experience with distributed systems, APIs, integration, and operationally resilient system design

  • Demonstrated ability to translate business requirements into practical technical designs and implementation plans

  • Demonstrated hands-on troubleshooting experience across multiple technology domains

  • Experience working in highly regulated, risk-conscious, or large financial services environments

  • Detail-oriented, self-directed, and able to manage multiple priorities while consistently meeting delivery commitments

  • Strong analytical skills, learning agility, curiosity, and willingness to investigate unfamiliar technical areas

  • Strong communication skills with the ability to build credibility across developers, engineers, architects, product owners, operations, vendors, and leadership stakeholders

  • 4-year degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or related field
