and test strategy, release gating, telemetry, audit logging, and incident

response for AI/tooling systems.

* Remain hands-on (~50%) through critical-path coding, architecture reviews,

code reviews, debugging, and performance/resiliency improvements.

* Drive cross-functional, federated delivery by partnering with API owners,

security, and shared services to deliver a unified client experience despite

distributed backend ownership.

(logs/metrics/traces), performance engineering, and incident management.

Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills

* Experience working in regulated environments with strong controls, compliance

requirements, and reliability expectations.

* Developer portal or developer-experience platform experience (onboarding

journeys, documentation-as-a-product, integration tooling, sandbox/test

experiences).

* Experience building workflow/orchestration systems (state machines, async

processing, retries, compensating actions).

* Search and relevance experience (enterprise search, ranking, contextual
