1. CI/CD & Engineering Automation
• Work with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, deployment automation, and engineering productivity practices.
1. Production Reliability & Observability
• Design and operate production-grade systems with appropriate logging, monitoring, alerting, error handling, and resilience 6.Technical Architecture
- Own technical architecture and design decisions, evaluating trade-offs across scalability, performance,
reliability, maintainability,
and cost.
1. AI-Assisted Engineering
• Use AI tools and practices to accelerate software development, testing, documentation, and engineering workflows, with demonstrable productivity or quality improvements.
Required Qualifications
- Minimum 7 years of relevant software engineering experience.
- Proven experience leading a team of engineers ( team size of 5 or more) in an agile/sprint-based setting.
- Strong working knowledge of AWS services: Lambda, Batch, Step Functions, EC2 (API-driven instance management), and cost management via tagging.
- Demonstrated experience orchestrating cloud infrastructure and services programmatically using Python .
- Solid understanding of code review practices, with emphasis on performance and scalability considerations.
- Experience collaborating with QA teams on test strategy and coverage.
- Track record of owning end-to-end sprint delivery, including quality and technical outcomes.
Preferred Attributes
- Comfortable operating in ambiguous, fast-changing environments typical of product-led organizations.
- Strong communication skills to bridge technical and cross-functional stakeholders.
- Proactive mindset toward process improvement, automation, and technical debt management.
