• Architect, design, and deliver scalable solutions using Python and modern software engineering practices.
• Design and implement Agentic AI systems, intelligent workflows, AI agents, and automation solutions.
• Evaluate AI use cases and translate business requirements into practical, scalable technical solutions.
• Define solution architecture, technical standards, development patterns, and engineering best practices.
• Lead end-to-end solution delivery, from requirements and architecture through development, deployment, and production adoption.
• Build integrations between AI systems, enterprise applications, APIs, data platforms, and external services.
• Develop reliable and maintainable Python-based services, APIs, automation frameworks, and backend systems.
• Drive technical decision-making around scalability, performance, security, reliability, and maintainability.
• Collaborate with Product, Engineering, Data, AI/ML, DevOps, and business stakeholders to deliver strategic initiatives.
• Identify technical risks, dependencies, and architectural challenges and develop effective mitigation strategies.
• Review technical designs and implementations and provide guidance on complex engineering challenges.
• Establish engineering practices that improve code quality, development velocity, testing, observability, and operational reliability.
• Mentor senior engineers and technical leads while fostering strong engineering standards and technical ownership.
• Stay current with advancements in Generative AI, Agentic AI, LLMs, AI orchestration, cloud technologies, and modern software architecture.
• Identify opportunities to improve existing systems through automation, AI adoption, architectural modernization, and process optimization.
