• AI-Assisted Software Engineering: Champion the use of generative AI tools and agentic coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, custom LLM agents) to streamline the software development lifecycle, automate testing, and accelerate CI/CD pipelines.
• Product & Requirements Management: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate business goals into technical requirements, user stories, and test suites within an Agile framework.
• Technical Design & Architecture: Author comprehensive technical design documents, system architecture diagrams, and API specifications to ensure scalable, secure, and maintainable solutions.
• Modern Operations & DevOps: Build robust CI/CD deployment pipelines, integrate automated security/quality scanning, and implement modern Identity & Access Management (IAM) and automated credential rotation.
• Reliability & Continuous Improvement: Participate in proactive problem management, root cause analysis (RCA), and incident resolution to ensure high availability of critical analytical systems.
