Key Responsibilities
1. Enterprise AI & Solution Architecture
· Lead the architecture, design, and implementation of enterprise-scale AI solutions using modern architectural patterns, clean architecture principles, domain-driven design (DDD), and cloud-native technologies.
· Define enterprise AI reference architectures, engineering standards, development frameworks, and implementation guardrails to ensure scalability, maintainability, security, and operational excellence.
· Drive adoption of Agentic AI, AI-powered software engineering, and intelligent automation across the software delivery lifecycle.
· Architect solutions with built-in observability, resilience, governance, security, and compliance from inception through production deployment.
· Partner with business, engineering, security, and platform teams to align AI capabilities with enterprise technology strategy and business outcomes.
2. Full Development Experience (FDE) and Engineering Excellence
· Demonstrate hands-on full-stack development experience spanning frontend, backend, APIs, data platforms, cloud services, and AI-enabled applications.
· Lead development teams in implementing modern engineering practices including test-driven development (TDD), CI/CD automation, code quality enforcement, and platform engineering standards.
· Define and enforce software engineering best practices with mandatory automated test coverage, code reviews, architecture reviews, and deployment quality controls.
· Drive modernization of legacy applications through refactoring, cloud migration, microservices transformation, and AI-assisted development methodologies.
· Establish engineering productivity frameworks leveraging AI coding assistants, automated development workflows, and intelligent code generation.
3. Secure-by-Design AI Platforms
· Architect secure AI and software platforms aligned with OWASP standards, Zero Trust principles, and enterprise cybersecurity requirements.
· Implement enterprise controls for HIPAA, PHI, PII, GDPR, and regulatory compliance across data, applications, and AI workloads.
· Integrate security validation throughout the development lifecycle using SAST, SCA, container scanning, secrets management, and policy-as-code frameworks.
· Design auditable AI systems with governance, lineage, traceability, access controls, and compliance monitoring capabilities.
4. AI Engineering, DevSecOps, and Delivery Automation
· Design and implement AI Engineering Harnesses supporting build validation, quality gates, security scanning, automated testing, and deployment automation.
· Establish enterprise DevSecOps frameworks integrating:
o Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
o Software Composition Analysis (SCA)
o Container Security Scanning
o Dependency Management
o Policy Compliance Validation
o Infrastructure-as-Code Governance
· Lead implementation of performance benchmarking frameworks for APIs, AI models, applications, and distributed platforms.
· Build highly automated CI/CD pipelines enabling secure, reliable, and repeatable software delivery.
5. Agentic AI Development Frameworks
