•  Identify and socialize reusable AI capabilities (domain skills, plugins, prompts, workflows, guardrails); obtain technical leadership alignment and drive adoption for secure,  consistent delivery.
• Continuously evaluate emerging AI technologies and identify opportunities to improve software quality, accelerate delivery, and modernize legacy platforms.
• Ensure alignment to established governance and best practices for responsible AI adoption, ensuring compliance with enterprise security, risk management, and software engineering standards.
• API & Integration Design — Design and implement RESTful and GraphQL APIs, microservices, and integrations with messaging (e.g., Kafka) and caching (e.g., Redis), ensuring contract-driven development and backward compatibility.
• Modernization & Cloud-Native Practices — Containerize and deploy services with Docker and Kubernetes; implement CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure-as-Code, DevSecOpspractices, and platform best practices.
• Observability & Performance — Instrument services for logging, metrics, and distributed tracing; analyze and tune performance to meet SLA and user experience targets.
• Security & Compliance — Apply secure coding standards, implement authentication/authorization (OAuth2, OIDC, JWT), and collaborate with security and risk teams to ensure compliance.
• Collaboration & Agile Delivery — Work within an Agile product team to plan, estimate, manage dependencies and risks, and deliver incremental value with regular feedback loops.
• Mentoring & Knowledge Sharing — Coach and mentor peers, share patterns and playbooks, and help raise team engineering standards and productivity.
• Operational Readiness — Create runbooks, health checks, and automated alerts; participate in on-call rotations and support production incidents to ensure operationalexcellence.

Must-Have Qualifications
