About the Role
In this role, you'll champion integrated engineering, fostering a culture of shared ownership and breaking down silos to ensure efficient innovation delivery to customers. You will collaborate with stakeholders throughout the SDLC to translate complex business requirements into high-quality, reliable, cost-effective, and maintainable solutions.
Responsibilities
- Lead the design and development of major systems or constellations of smaller systems with a focus on Continuous Delivery principles and practices.
- Champion integrated engineering practices within the organization, defining "Golden Paths" for service communication and cross-team technical standards.
- Architect and implement advanced AI workflows, including multi-agent orchestration, state management, and memory persistence to solve high-value business problems.
- Solve architectural bottlenecks that cross team boundaries and review designs from other teams for consistency, scalability, and long-term supportability.
- Coordinate large-scale programs across many dependent teams, independently creating project plans and managing materializing risks with a high degree of confidence in delivery.
- Research and implement new ways to keep teams efficient, staying ahead of industry trends and Agile practices at both the team and enterprise level.
- Act as a talent multiplier by mentoring senior engineers, leading by example in code reviews, and fostering a culture of technical excellence.
- Serve as the "Adult in the Room" during crises, providing guidance to resolve issues, determining root causes, and implementing systemic changes to prevent repeat occurrences.
- Drive the organizational strategy for quality by organizing and overseeing a library of regression tests as a shared resource.
- Balance risk, effort, and coverage by directing regular reviews of environment-specific test suites.
- Collate feedback from end-users and historical defects to assessment where the most systemic risk resides, focusing engineering efforts accordingly to ensure a high-quality user experience.
- Lead the integration of complex, cross-functional systems and third-party services.
- Identify and resolve integration bottlenecks that impact multiple product lines or dependent teams.
- Define and evolve the deployment strategy to ensure rapid, safe, and consistent delivery across the organization.
- Automate complex release workflows to reduce manual effort and increase reliability across the program.
- Manage the critical path for major initiatives spanning multiple dependent teams.
- Define the technical vision for our tooling landscape, researching and adopting cutting-edge tools that improve decision-making and automate repetitive tasks.
Requirements
- Minimum of 8-10 years of experience in software engineering and delivery, with a proven track record of leading multi-team initiatives.
- Expert proficiency in multiple programming languages and modern architectural patterns (Microservices, Event-Driven, etc.).
- Hands-on experience building with LLMs and designing multi-agent agentic workflows (handling state, memory, and tool calls).
- Strong understanding of continuous delivery principles and mastery of automation tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, etc.).
- Exceptional problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to navigate high degrees of ambiguity.
- Excellent communication and negotiation skills, with the ability to tailor messaging for a wide variety of audiences, including senior leadership.
- Ability to work independently and as a strategic lead within a cross-functional technical team.
