- LLM integrations
- Evaluation and testing frameworks
- Prompt management and versioning
- AI guardrails and safety controls
- Observability and hallucination detection
- Design and develop backend services and integrations with enterprise platforms such as collaboration tools, ticketing systems, incident management platforms, source control systems, developer tools, monitoring systems, and cloud services.
- Establish and enforce engineering standards for system reliability,



observability, release quality, operational readiness, and platform scalability.
- Mentor engineers through architecture reviews, code reviews, troubleshooting, and technical leadership.
- Identify operational inefficiencies and transform recurring patterns into automated workflows and reusable platform capabilities.

Required Qualifications

- 10+ years of software engineering experience building and operating large-scale backend platforms, distributed systems, developer platforms, automation platforms, or enterprise software solutions.
- Strong programming expertise in one or more modern backend languages such as Python, Java, Go, or Scala , with Python preferred.
- Hands-on experience deploying Generative AI solutions into production environments.
- Practical experience with:
- RAG architectures
- LLM integrations
- Vector databases and semantic search
- Evaluation pipelines
- AI observability
- Guardrails and governance
- Workflow automation
- Deep knowledge of cloud-native architecture and distributed systems, including:
- Kubernetes
- APIs and microservices
- Event-driven architectures
- Message queues
- Databases and caching layers
- CI/CD pipelines
- Monitoring and telemetry
- Distributed tracing
- Solid understanding of reliability and resiliency patterns such as retries, idempotency, rate limiting, circuit breakers, failure isolation, asynchronous processing, and incident response.
- Experience designing secure enterprise integrations with an emphasis on authentication, authorization, auditability, governance,



and operational safety.
- Demonstrated ability to influence technical direction, drive architectural decisions, mentor engineers, and lead execution across globally distributed teams.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Preferred Qualifications

- Experience in platform engineering, developer productivity, site reliability engineering (SRE), cloud infrastructure, enterprise automation, or large-scale SaaS environments.
- Experience building AI-powered support systems, operational intelligence platforms, workflow orchestration solutions, incident response tooling, or developer-facing assistants.
- Knowledge of conversational interfaces, support automation, ticketing workflows, incident management workflows, and human-in-the-loop AI systems.
- Experience with technologies such as:
- Azure
- Azure OpenAI
- Azure AI Search
- AKS
- PostgreSQL
- Grafana
- ArgoCD
- GitLab
- PagerDuty
- Experience collaborating with engineering teams across multiple geographic regions and time zones.
- Strong systems thinking and a demonstrated ability to simplify complex architectures while maintaining scalability and reliability.

What Success Looks Like

- Deliver scalable AI-powered operational capabilities that improve developer productivity and service efficiency.
- Establish robust engineering standards and best practices across platform development.
- Drive adoption of AI-powered automation while maintaining high levels of security, reliability, and operational trust.
