  • Champion adoption of AI-assisted engineering workflows by evaluating tools, leading pilots, and coaching teams on measurable use cases that improve quality and throughput.
  • Remain hands-on by prototyping solutions, building internal tools, and contributing to critical-path engineering work when needed to reduce delivery risk or accelerate execution.
  • Drive measurable improvements in code quality, defect escape rate, lead time, resiliency, and production stability through tooling, process improvement, and technical coaching.
  • Mentor senior engineers and build communities of practice that strengthen architectural consistency, production ownership, and cross-team engineering alignment.
  • Responsibilities listed are not intended to be all-inclusive and may be modified as necessary.


Experience you'll need to have:
  • 10+ years of experience in software engineering across enterprise applications using mainframe and distributed technologies, including COBOL, Java, and service-based architectures.
  • 8+ years of experience modernizing and integrating legacy platforms with microservices, application programming interfaces (APIs), event-driven architectures, and hybrid cloud environments.
  • 8+ years of experience building and improving CI/CD, DevOps, and application operations practices, including monitoring, incident management, batch processing, performance tuning, and production support for mission-critical systems.
  • 8+ years of experience in cloud-native and containerized environments using OpenShift and at least one major cloud platform such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
  • 8+ years of experience working with relational and NoSQL databases in support of scalable, reliable enterprise applications and platform modernization efforts.
  • Experience evaluating and applying AI-assisted development tools to improve engineering quality, delivery throughput, and developer workflows at scale.
  • Experience applying application security practices across mainframe and distributed platforms, including encryption, access control, secrets management, and vulnerability remediation.
  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field or equivalent combination of education, related experience and/or military experience.


Experience that would be great to have:
  • Experience supporting issuer processing, payments, or financial technology platforms in a regulated environment.
  • Experience creating portfolio-level reference architectures and engineering enablement materials for broad adoption across multiple teams.
  • Experience delivering technical workshops, engineering training, or developer enablement programs.
  • Experience with Angular, .NET, and Python in multi-stack enterprise environments.
