Build reliable solutions using LLMs, RAG, prompt engineering and context engineering.
Design standards-based integrations across APIs, microservices and enterprise platforms.
Establish reusable assets, engineering patterns and delivery accelerators.
Own DevOps, DevSecOps, CI/CD, infrastructure as code and automated testing.
Use telemetry, quality signals and evaluation frameworks to continuously improve solutions.
Lead and mentor a small engineering pod of 3–4 members.
Engage with technical and business stakeholders and own measurable outcomes.
What We’re Looking For
Senior engineering or architecture experience in enterprise software delivery.
Strong hands-on experience with full-stack development and modern application architecture.
Expertise in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java or equivalent technologies.
Experience with APIs, microservices, cloud-native architecture and enterprise integrations.
Practical knowledge of Generative AI, LLMs, AI agents, RAG and prompt engineering.
Experience using AI coding assistants such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Cursor or Kiro.
Strong experience with AWS, Azure or GCP, containers, Kubernetes and CI/CD.
Understanding of DevSecOps, secure SDLC, infrastructure as code and automated testing.
Strong client-facing communication, consulting and problem-solving skills.
Demonstrated experience leading teams, mentoring engineers and driving delivery outcomes.
Ability to operate effectively in ambiguous, fast-moving customer environments.
Why This Role?
Work directly on high-impact enterprise AI and GenAI transformations.
Solve complex business problems in real client environments.
Combine architecture, engineering, consulting and leadership.
Build reusable AI-native engineering capabilities for scale.
Help shape the future of intelligent, secure and responsible enterprise delivery.
If you are an experienced technology leader who enjoys building, solving and delivering at the client front line, we would like to hear from you.
