What you’ll do here: Hands-On Engineering:

Write and review production code on the organization’s most key, shared platforms and critical delivery paths.

Pair directly with engineers to resolve high-ambiguity challenges across modern cloud services, APIs, integration platforms, commercial products, and legacy systems.

Lead by example during production incidents, performance investigations, security remediation, and complex defect resolution.

Build working slices and proofs of concept to validate technical direction before teams scale an approach.

Develop reusable frameworks, APIs, automation, and engineering toolkits that improve consistency and accelerate delivery across product teams.

Technical Leadership Through Doing, Not Decree:

Own and shape technology direction and roadmaps for shared capabilities in alignment with enterprise business and technology objectives.

Translate enterprise needs into practical platform boundaries, technical decisions, and sequenced modernization plans.





Advance strategic priorities such as independent release cadences, API-led integration, pragmatic cloud modernization, legacy-platform renewal, continuous improvement, and faster paths to production.

Promote cross-team collaboration so decisions support the overall business and technology strategy rather than a single product area.

Serve as a trusted technical advisor to senior technology leaders, architects, and engineering leaders on high-risk or novel decisions.

Quality, Standards & Thought Leadership:

Define, model, and reinforce software engineering practices across design, development, testing, continuous delivery, observability, production support, security, and applicable regulatory requirements.

Improve platform resilience, scalability, maintainability, and total cost of ownership through rationalization, standardization, technical-debt reduction, and lifecycle planning.

Champion secure delivery practices, quality engineering, automation, and responsible AI adoption in the software development lifecycle, with appropriate human validation and governance.

Evaluate emerging technologies and introduce them through evidence-based experiments that can be adopted safely at enterprise scale.

Ensure shared capabilities remain reusable and free of unnecessary business-area-specific logic, with ownership boundaries made explicit.

Mentorship & Multiplier Effect:

Act as a force multiplier across Shared Technology Services by pairing, conducting deep technical reviews, co-designing solutions, and helping teams remove blockers.
