• Take ownership of end-to-end solutions—from requirements gathering and architecture to implementation, deployment, and operational excellence.

• Mentor and nurture engineers at all levels, promoting a culture of technical excellence, continuous learning, and innovation.

• Lead cross-functional initiatives and projects, working alongside product management, UX, and engineering leadership to achieve business objectives.

• Utilize AI tools and workflows to expedite development, enhance code quality, and boost engineering productivity throughout the organization.

• Design and maintain event-driven, serverless architectures using AWS services such as Lambda, DynamoDB, EventBridge, API Gateway, and Step Functions.

• Establish and refine engineering standards, patterns, and best practices that scale with the organization.

• Identify and integrate security requirements throughout the software development lifecycle.

• Extensive knowledge of AWS cloud services, with hands-on experience in designing and managing complex serverless and event-driven architectures.

• Strong expertise in at least two of the following programming languages: .NET/C#, Node.js/TypeScript, and Python, with a willingness to work across all three.

• Familiarity with both relational and NoSQL databases, including MS SQL Server, DynamoDB, and OpenSearch.

• Demonstrated experience managing sensitive data in multi-tenant SaaS environments with a security-first approach, including encryption, access control, data isolation, and compliance.

• A history of taking end-to-end ownership of large-scale solutions, driving the full architecture from design to production, rather than just contributing to a part.

• Active and intentional integration of AI into daily engineering workflows, with experience in creating repeatable AI systems that significantly enhance quality, efficiency, or output, along with a history of evolving AI-assisted development practices—candidates should be able to illustrate how AI tools have improved their development processes.
