• Help execute the Build-Operate-Transfer model by collaborating with business-aligned technology teams to transition proven capabilities for long-term ownership and scale.

• Contribute to reusable shared capabilities and engineering components that improve speed, quality, and consistency across teams.

• Champion engineering excellence through strong software design, automated testing, code quality, continuous integration, and continuous delivery practices.

• Build systems with measurable quality, production readiness, operational observability, and appropriate safety and control mechanisms.

• Manage technical debt and drive continuous improvement across platforms, services, and developer workflows.

• Identify opportunities to apply emerging technologies in ways that accelerate workflows, unlock business value, and improve operational efficiency.

Business Knowledge

• Collaborate closely with business stakeholders and product owners to understand priorities, shape solution direction, and deliver practical outcomes.

• Bring a strong product mindset to technical decision-making, balancing innovation, scalability, risk, and long-term maintainability.

• Operate effectively in a highly collaborative environment where engineers work side by side with cross-functional partners to solve meaningful business problems.
