• Contribute directly to system design and hands-on development using TypeScript/JavaScript, React, and AWS services
• Lead end-to-end delivery of platform capabilities-from design through deployment and production support
• Ensure systems are scalable, secure, resilient, and observable
• Establish and enforce modern engineering practices, including CI/CD, automated testing, and code quality standards
• Partner with architects and enterprise capability teams (Architecture, Security, Compliance) to align on technical direction
• Support adoption of emerging technologies, including AI/ML-enabled capabilities, where appropriate
Enable cross-team alignment and stakeholder engagement (20%)
• Partner with Product Owners to translate business needs into clear technical plans and execution strategies
• Manage dependencies across teams and systems within the broader platform ecosystem
• Communicate progress, risks, and tradeoffs to engineering and business stakeholders
• Contribute to roadmap planning and prioritization decisions

• Strong understanding of distributed systems, APIs, and event-driven architectures
• Experience implementing modern engineering practices (CI/CD, automated testing, observability, security)
• Demonstrated ability to lead teams through complex, cross-functional delivery initiatives
• A thoughtful and proactive leadership style that supports continuous improvement and team engagement.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to work across technical and non-technical stakeholders
Preferred:
• Experience with workflow-driven or compliance-sensitive systems (e.g., case management, decisioning platforms)
• Exposure to AI/ML or data-driven product capabilities
• Experience working within platform-based architectures and shared services ecosystems
• Familiarity with security and regulatory considerations for handling sensitive user data
