The role focuses on improving platform reliability and security while mentoring engineers through technical contributions and influence.

Responsibilities:

• Lead architecture, design, and implementation for complex platform services and shared components
• Own key technical decisions; drive design reviews and ensure solutions meet security, scalability, performance, and operability requirements
• Establish and improve engineering standards across services (API consistency, test strategy, deployment patterns, observability)
• Mentor engineers through design guidance, code reviews, and technical leadership
• Drive reliability improvements (SLOs/SLIs, capacity/performance planning, incident analysis, automation)
• Partner with Security/Compliance to ensure secure-by-design implementations and audit readiness
• Collaborate across organizations to align roadmaps and deliver cross-team platform initiatives
• Demonstrate a consistent track record of applying AI-assisted engineering to improve delivery speed and quality across multiple projects (design, implementation, testing, troubleshooting)
• Establish team patterns for AI-assisted development (e.g., test generation strategies, code review checklists for AI-generated changes, documentation/ADR generation) and coach others on effective usage
• Evaluate AI-assisted approaches with an enterprise mindset: security, privacy, IP, and compliance considerations; ensure usage aligns with company-approved tooling and policies
• Use AI to enhance operational excellence (e.g., improved incident triage workflows, log/trace analysis approaches, automation of repetitive operational tasks)

Requirements:

• BS in Computer Science or related field (or equivalent practical experience)
• 7+ years of professional software development experience
• Demonstrated experience building and operating distributed services in production
• Strong system design skills, including data modeling, API design, and performance/reliability tradeoffs
• Demonstrated ability to drive technical alignment across teams and deliver results in ambiguous problem spaces
• U.S. citizenship required due to security clearance requirements
• Must be able to obtain and maintain the required security clearance
• Strong IAM-related service design experience: token-based auth, service-to-service auth, authorization enforcement, policy design
• Experience building or integrating user provisioning and entitlement services, lifecycle workflows, and audit logging
• Experience with secure platform patterns: secrets management, key rotation, secure defaults, defense-in-depth
• Cloud experience preferred (OCI strongly desired; AWS/Azure/GCP acceptable), including containerization and orchestration
