- Experience building high-performance, latency-sensitive Java applications.
- Proven partnership with Product, Delivery/Program, and business stakeholders; converting business requirements into technical roadmaps, OKRs, and measurable deliverables.
- Demonstrated experience leading effective use of approved AI-assisted software development tools (e.g., for coding, code review, test acceleration, troubleshooting) with the ability to set team expectations for validating AI outputs for correctness, performance, and security.
- Strong understanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows, including data sensitivity considerations, secure handling of inputs/outputs, and adherence to resiliency and security expectations; experience coaching engineers on safe, compliant adoption within delivery practices
- Experience owning the evolution and stability of mission-critical platforms: architectural modernization, operability, performance, and cost-effectiveness.
- Clear understanding of messaging technologies and computer networks; familiarity with FIX and Solace.
- Experience maintaining and troubleshooting software in Linux environments, along with experience in microservices deployment topologies on Kubernetes.
- Test-driven development using modern source control and continuous integration; strong CI/CD and release governance.
