Job responsibilities

• Provide technical leadership and direction to product and engineering teams to deliver outcomes aligned to business priorities.
• Own end-to-end solution and product architecture for key initiatives, including target-state designs, integration patterns, APIs, and data flows aligned to enterprise standards.
• Drive architectural decisions and trade-offs across security, resiliency, performance, cost, and time-to-market; manage dependencies and technical risk.
• Translate product capabilities into scalablesystem designs, APIs, and data models with clear non-functional requirements .
• Establish and govern reference architectures, design patterns, and reusable components to accelerate delivery, consistency, and reuse across teams.
• Partner with product management to shape the roadmap, influence product design, and prioritize architectural investments and technical debt reduction.
• Guide solution design and implementation across teams, conducting design and code reviews as needed to ensure architectural consistency, quality, and maintainability.
• Drive adoption and governance of approved AI-assisted engineering practices to improve code quality, delivery speed, and operational outcomes (e.g., code review/refactoring, test acceleration, release readiness, incident/root-cause analysis), including measurable validation standards and SDLC/TLM automation.
• Apply deep SDLC/toolchain knowledge (CI/CD, testing, automation, observability, and approved AI-assisted capabilities) to increase value realized from automation at scale.
• Serve as a function-wide subject matter expert in one or more focus areas and contribute to the engineering community by advocating firmwide frameworks, tools, and SDLC practices.

Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills

• Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 5+ years applied experience
