##### Job Description

Your Impact

• Architectural Leadership: Lead design discussions, write comprehensive Design Docs, define APIs and service contracts, and resolve complex integration trade-offs so our systems work together reliably at scale.

• Drive Measurable Results: Take ownership of vague goals or ambiguous problem spaces (e.g., reducing latency, improving defect escape rates) and translate them into concrete execution plans with measurable, end-to-end outcomes.

• Modernization . AI Adoption: Champion the use of AI tools and spec-driven development methodologies to accelerate engineering velocity. Leverage your familiarity with the AI Life Cycle Development (AILDC) process to integrate context and improve system intelligence.

• Engineering Excellence: Define libraries, scaffolding, and testing strategies that reduce boilerplate and ensure quality. Lead incident response, drive root cause analysis (RCA), and implement durable fixes that systematically reduce MTTR.

• Customer-Centric Execution: Use data to advocate for ROI in architectural choices. Anticipate unstated customer needs and build solutions that directly address them, pushing back on low-value work to maintain focus.

• Technical Strategy . Influence: Align the technical roadmap ensuring the platform remains resilient, performant, and future-proof.

• Mentorship . Cultural Stewardship: Act as a "Multiplier." You will mentor senior and staff engineers, fostering an environment of high psychological safety and radical candor.
