Lead and mentor engineers while contributing hands-on across the full development lifecycle
Design secure, scalable, and highly available system architectures aligned with industry best practices
Collaborate with globally distributed engineering, AI, and DevOps teams to deliver integrated solutions
Monitor system health, performance, and reliability, proactively identifying and resolving issues
Continuously evaluate new tools and technologies to enhance platform capabilities

Required Experience & Skills

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
7+ years of professional software engineering experience in enterprise environments
5+ years of hands-on Python development building backend services and APIs
Proven experience leading or mentoring development teams
Strong experience with AWS, cloud-native architectures, security, and operational best practices
Experience integrating AI/ML services and frameworks into production applications
Solid understanding of Agile development, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and code reviews
Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, or similar); exposure to platforms such as SageMaker is a plus
Familiarity with AIOps, monitoring, observability, and performance optimization
Strong troubleshooting skills and the ability to quickly learn new technologies

Compensation: $150,000-190,000 annually
Salary is based on a range of factors that include relevant experience, knowledge, skills, other job-related qualifications.
