• Manage legacy and sustaining-support work and the associated contractor team.
• People management - hiring, performance, and growth for the team.
• Coordinate with peer teams across regions to keep shared SDKs, contracts, and data models consistent.
• Set sprint-level technical priorities and uphold delivery quality and engineering standards.
• Lead the team's adoption of agentic-AI development and test tooling, and the monolith to microservices transition for its services.

• Experience with legacy / sustaining-support work and with managing contractor teams.
• Strong collaboration in a distributed, cross-time-zone organization.
Preferred Qualifications
• 5+ years applying AI/ML, including hands-on use and deployment of agentic AI in development and test workflows (AI-assisted coding, automated testing).
• Strong container-based orchestration (Kubernetes): deployment, tuning, and model serving.
• Delivery in rapid release cycles within a regulated environment (21 CFR Part 11 / GxP).
