• Builds and operationalizes AI agents that integrate with engineering workflows (e.g., PR review assistants, runbook/support agents, remediation assistants), including tool/function calling, structured outputs, and safety/guardrails
• Uses Python as needed for AI/agent prototyping, automation, evaluation harnesses, or glue code/integrations
• Adds to team culture of diversity, opportunity, inclusion, and respect
• Drives team adoption of enterprise-authorized AI-assisted engineering practices within the work environment to improve code quality, delivery speed, and operational outcomes (e.g., AI-assisted code review/refactoring, test strategy acceleration, incident/root-cause analysis support), while establishing consistent validation standards (secure coding, peer review, automated testing) and promoting reuse of effective patterns across the team.
• 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.

Required Qualifications, Capabilities, And Skills

• Hands-on practical experience delivering system design, application development, testing, and operational stability
• Advanced Java development experience with strong fundamentals (OO design, concurrency, performance, debugging)
• Strong hands-on experience with Spring Boot and related frameworks (REST APIs, security, persistence), Elastic search, plus unit/integration testing.
• AI4Tech hands-on experience using Copilot/Claude Code (or similar approved tools) to accelerate delivery while maintaining code quality, security, and test coverage
• Experience building AI agents / LLM-enabled workflows, including prompt discipline, grounding/verification strategies, and safe handling of sensitive data
• Some experience or working knowledge of Python (scripting, automation, or AI/agent prototyping)
• Advanced understanding of agile methodologies such as CI/CD, Application Resiliency, and Security
• Practical experience on Kubernetes
• 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 designing and operating production-grade agentic systems (observability, evals, prompt/versioning, fallbacks, rate limits, and guardrails)
• Experience with modern microservice patterns (resiliency, distributed tracing, event-driven design)
