Key Responsibilities

Own and drive the technical architecture for complex, cross-team full-stack initiatives spanning front-end, backend, and data layers.
Design, build, and maintain scalable, high-performance web applications and distributed services in a cloud-native environment.
Architect and integrate agentic AI workflows (autonomous agents, LLM-driven automation, AI copilots) into engineering and product systems to drive efficiency and new capabilities.
Set engineering standards and best practices for code quality, system design, testing, and deployment across the organization, including responsible use of AI-assisted development tools.
Lead technical design reviews and provide architectural guidance to multiple engineering teams.
Partner with product, design, and engineering leadership to translate business strategy into scalable technical roadmaps, including AI-driven product capabilities.
Identify and resolve systemic performance, reliability, and scalability issues across the stack.
Mentor and coach senior and mid-level engineers, raising the technical bar across the organization on both full-stack and AI engineering practices.
Drive adoption of modern frameworks, tools, and engineering practices, including agentic AI and LLM tooling, to improve developer velocity and system resilience.
Maintain awareness of emerging technologies and industry trends, particularly in agentic AI and automation, and assess their applicability to the business.
