- Strong hands-on coding experience in Python with experience delivering production-grade services
- 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
- Hands-on practical experience with system design, automated testing, debugging, and operational stability for production software
- Experience implementing observability, logging, metrics, alerts, Service Level Objectives, incident response practices, and root-cause analysis for services in production
- Working knowledge of software application development and technical processes, with depth in one or more areas such as cloud platforms, artificial intelligence, machine learning platforms, distributed systems, or infrastructure engineering
- Ability to break down technical requirements into executable engineering tasks, manage dependencies, and deliver against milestones in partnership with product and application teams
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical decisions, trade-offs, issues, and risks to engineering teams and stakeholders
Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills
- Experience supporting AI/ML or generative AI platform capabilities, including model hosting, inference services, model gateways, managed AI services, or developer-facing AI/ML infrastructure
- Proven skills in managing AI infrastructure on cloud platforms including deployment, scaling, monitoring, and optimizing machine learning workloads
