• Applies knowledge of tools within the Software Development Life Cycle toolchain, including enterprise-authorized AI-assisted development and automation capabilities, to improve the value realized by automation and support capacity unlock initiatives

Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills

• Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 5+ years applied experience. In addition, demonstrated coaching and mentoring experience

• Demonstrated experience leading full-stack delivery with strong depth in front-end engineering (React and TypeScript), including component design, state management, routing, and performance optimization

• Hands-on experience building and operating web APIs (for example Java and Spring), including secure design, versioning strategies, and reliability considerations in distributed systems

• Strong knowledge of web application security and secure coding practices (for example cross-site scripting, cross-site request forgery, session management, content security policy) and dependency and vulnerability management

• Proven ability to set and sustain engineering excellence through code review, test strategy, and continuous integration and continuous delivery practices (including feature flags and rollback strategies)

• Hands-on experience building, deploying, and operating applications on Amazon Web Services (AWS), including identity and access management, networking fundamentals, logging/monitoring, and infrastructure-as-code practices

• Experience leading responsible adoption of enterprise-authorized AI-assisted development and delivery tools across engineering teams, including defining ways of working (review/validation expectations), measuring outcomes, and ensuring secure handling of data

• Understanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows, including data sensitivity considerations, resiliency/security implications, and governance expectations; ability to coach engineers on compliant and effective usage

Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills

• Experience designing and scaling reusable front-end platforms, design systems, or shared component libraries across multiple teams

• Experience with AWS-native architectures for web applications (for example content delivery, API routing, container or serverless deployment patterns)

• Experience with GraphQL and modern build and packaging tooling ecosystems

• Experience driving modernization efforts such as large-scale refactoring, testing uplift, or migration to newer front-end patterns and frameworks

• Experience working in highly regulated environments with strong engineering controls, auditability, and reliability expectations
