Develop scalable REST/GraphQL APIs and microservices that integrate with platform technologies such as Apache Solr, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and RabbitMQ deployed on Kubernetes.
Build and maintain internal libraries and SDKs that simplify consumption of platform services, and refactor existing applications for efficiency, reliability, and maintainability.
Lead architecture decisions for new features, ensuring solutions align with Twelve-Factor App principles and best practices.
Contribute to the adoption and continuous improvement of AI-enabled workflows by providing feedback, identifying opportunities for automation, and safely incorporating AI assistance into repeatable operational patterns.
Leverage approved AI tools and agents to assist with platform operations, troubleshooting, automation, documentation, and workflow efficiency under established governance and best practices.
Actively use and support AI-assisted and agentic engineering workflows as part of their day-to-day work.
Develop agent-to-agent (A2A) AI workflows or applications.
Design, implement, and maintain MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that expose enterprise data and capabilities to AI agents and LLM-powered workflows.
Own and evolve CI/CD pipelines using GitHub, Jenkins, and Codefresh, from commit hooks through automated testing and production deployment.
Develop and maintain deployment orchestration tools and automation workflows on Kubernetes-based platforms (including OpenShift).
