  • Partner with product management to shape roadmaps and prioritize architectural investments and technical debt reduction.
  • Conduct design and code reviews to ensure architectural consistency, quality, and maintainability across engineering teams.
  • Drive the adoption of AI-assisted engineering practices to improve code quality, delivery speed, and operational outcomes.
  • Serve as a subject matter expert to advocate for firmwide frameworks, tools, and SDLC practices.

What we're looking for

  • Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 5+ years of applied experience.
  • Experience owning solution and platform architecture for distributed systems including security, resiliency, performance, cost, and time-to-market trade-offs.
  • Proven background designing microservices, APIs, and event-driven architectures like Kafka.
  • Hands-on cloud-native engineering experience in multi-cloud and hybrid environments with strong AWS expertise.
  • Experience building reusable capabilities such as APIs, services, frameworks, and reference architectures to scale adoption across business lines.
  • Proficiency with Java, Python, and React or comparable technologies for code review and supporting engineering teams.
  • Experience using firm-approved AI-assisted engineering tools while ensuring responsible AI controls and validation.
