Application Development & Delivery

• Design, build, and maintain full-stack applications and services across the full software lifecycle: requirements, implementation, testing, documentation, and production support
• Build responsive front ends and back-end services deployed to the cloud
• Optimize application performance so applications and monitor applications for errors, latency, and usage; own alerting, incident response, and root-cause analysis

AI-Powered Features

• Embed AI into applications with natural-language queries, predictive insights, recommendations, and conversational interfaces
• Ground AI features in knowledge graphs and ontologies that model the domain and enable semantic search and reasoning over operational data
• Build and expose reusable AI capabilities via MCP servers that applications and agents can call
• Integrate machine-learning models and LLM APIs into production applications to enhance insights and decision-making
• Build agentic workflows that trigger actions and update records, with human approval and audit logging
• Partner with junior engineers to move models from experiment to reliable, production-grade features

 

Technical Standards & Code Quality

• Set and enforce application coding standards, design patterns, and engineering best practices across the team
• Serve as senior reviewer for application code correctness, performance, security, and maintainability
• Establish CI/CD, automated testing, and version-control workflows for application development
• Build reusable components, templates, and utilities that accelerate development across the team

 

Technical Leadership & Mentorship

• Mentor and coach junior software engineers and BI developers
• Translate ambiguous business problems into project plans and application work
• Partner with BI leadership on the application roadmap and with stakeholders on requirements and priorities
