Key Responsibilities:

AI & Generative AI Development

• Design and implement "loop engineering" workflows using Claude Code and similar tools, defining how agents plan, execute, test, and iterate on code changes
• Architect Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and tool schemas that are legible and safe for LLM agents to use
• Define human-in-the-loop checkpoints, autonomy boundaries, and rollback strategies for agent-driven changes
• Build evaluation harnesses and observability practices to measure agent output quality and catch regressions
• Design and review microservice and microfrontend architecture using C4 diagrams and Domain-Driven Design principles
• Drive test-driven development practices across teams, including contract testing between services
• Own technical decisions across our Java microservices, Node.js services, React/microfrontend UI, and Python tooling

Learning Content & Assessment Development
