Job Responsibilities

* Lead the design, build, and day-to-day operation of cloud platform

capabilities and production environments at scale, emphasizing resiliency,

security, and reliability

* Build and maintain secure Java (Java 17+) and Spring Boot services, including

RESTful APIs, with strong code review and debugging

* Implement Infrastructure-as-Code / Everything-as-Code using Terraform,

including secure provisioning and policy controls where applicable

* Enable and support safe release practices (e.g., rolling and blue/green

deployments) for high-availability, high-scale services

* Improve operational stability by eliminating recurring issues and automating

remediation/runbooks where appropriate

* Apply SRE-aligned practices (SLIs/SLOs, error budgets, incident response) and

participate in formal change and incident management processes

* Use observability and APM tooling (e.g., Splunk, Datadog, Dynatrace) to

monitor, troubleshoot, and improve production services

* Deliver CI/CD in a “you build it, you own it” culture using Git and

enterprise pipelines (e.g., Jules, Spinnaker, or similar)

* Prototype and deliver AI-enabled/agentic workflows (e.g., tool-using agents,

orchestration patterns, evaluation and guardrails) and translate stakeholder

needs into technical designs

* Mentor engineers and partner with application teams to drive best practices

across reliability, performance, risk, cybersecurity, and legal/compliance

requirements

Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills

* Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 5+

years of applied experience.

* Hands-on Java/J2EE and Python development experience, with strong depth in

Spring Boot and REST API design•

* AWS platform/infrastructure engineering experience, including designing and

operating cloud workloads

* Hands-on experience operating Kubernetes in high-availability environments,

including deployments and incident troubleshooting

* Strong Infrastructure-as-Code experience with Terraform (modules, state

management, secure provisioning practices)

* Production support experience using observability/APM tooling (e.g., Splunk,

Datadog, Dynatrace), including root-cause analysis and reliability

improvements

* Experience with testing practices and frameworks (e.g., JUnit, Mockito) and

performance testing tools (e.g., JMeter/BlazeMeter or equivalent)

* Solid grounding in domain-driven design, microservices patterns, resiliency

patterns, and operating services under change/incident management controls

* Demonstrated experience leading effective use of approved AI-assisted

software development tools (e.g., for coding, code review, test acceleration,

troubleshooting) with the ability to set team expectations for validating AI

outputs for correctness, performance, and security.

* Strong understanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows,

including data sensitivity considerations, secure handling of inputs/outputs,

and adherence to resiliency and security expectations; experience coaching

engineers on safe, compliant adoption within delivery practices

Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills

* Experience with AWS services commonly used in modern platforms (e.g.,

ELB/ALB, Route 53, API Gateway, Lambda, ECS, managed caching such as Redis)

* Experience implementing policy-as-code and guardrails for cloud/Kubernetes

environments

* Experience building platform “golden paths” (templates, paved roads, reusable

modules) that accelerate application teams safely

* Experience with secrets management tooling and patterns (e.g., rotation,

least privilege, auditability) in regulated environments

* Practical experience building or integrating AI/agentic workflows with

measurable evaluation, safety controls, and monitoring in production-like

environments

* Operate Kubernetes platforms (preferably Amazon EKS), including cluster

operations, upgrades, deployment strategies, networking/ingress,

configuration and secrets management, and troubleshooting in

high-availability environments
