The team is part of the organization's innovation hub, focused on applying AI, LLM, and data science to create forward-looking tools.

The environment combines the best of both worlds: startup energy with enterprise support. Projects include building agentic systems to automate tax prep and document summarization for legal and financial workflows.

About the Role

  • Provide technical leadership, mentoring engineers and setting standards while driving innovation across projects
  • Shape AI vision and strategy by identifying opportunities for AI-driven features and adopting emerging technologies
  • Promote a culture of continuous learning, encouraging skill development and staying current with industry trends
  • Establish and enforce technical governance to ensure consistency, quality, and scalability
  • Contribute to the technical roadmap and lead architectural design, balancing risks and long-term objectives
  • Guide teams in resolving complex technical issues through effective problem-solving and clear communication
  • Act as a thought leader, representing the organization and influencing product evolution in the AI landscape

What You'll Bring

    • Over 10 years of hands-on software engineering experience, with a strong track record of building scalable, reliable web-based applications and solutions. Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related discipline.

    • Deep understanding of core computer science concepts, including data structures and algorithm design. Extensive experience with the .NET ecosystem and strong expertise in object-oriented design and development. Solid grasp of OOP principles, SOLID, DRY, Domain-Driven Design (DDD), and fundamental database design concepts.

    • Proven ability to leverage architectural principles and design patterns to address complex business challenges.

    • Demonstrated success in designing and developing high-performance, customer-facing RESTful APIs using ASP.NET or similar frameworks; familiarity with API gateway technologies is advantageous.

    • Proficiency with modern front-end frameworks such as React or Angular, along with TypeScript, Node.js, and Python.

    • Experience with AI technologies, including generative AI concepts such as prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and model fine-tuning.

    • Hands-on experience with public cloud platforms, preferably AWS (including EC2, S3, ALB, Auto Scaling, RDS, Lambda, SQS, and container services).

    • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders across teams, navigate ambiguity, make data-informed decisions, and deliver results in a fast-paced environment.

    • Demonstrated ability to mentor team members and advocate for best practices in DevOps, AI development tools, and test-driven development (TDD).

    • Willingness to maintain and support legacy systems during transition phases, with a proven history of modernizing complex legacy applications into cloud-native architectures.

    • Must be a Green Card Holder or US Citizen; no visa sponsorship or visa transfers available
