  • Foster an environment of continuous improvement by evaluating emerging technologies and aligning them with business goals.
  • Design and integrate AI/LLM-powered capabilities into our product suite, defining architectural patterns for responsible AI usage, LLM API integration (e.g., AWS Bedrock, OpenAI, Anthropic), prompt engineering infrastructure, and AI model evaluation pipelines.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate business requirements and industry standards into system architecture and design.
  • Document architecture decisions and create blueprints and documentation for future development efforts.
  • Define and track KPIs regarding Software Quality and Operational excellence.

Qualifications:

  • 7+ years of experience in software development and architecture, with a proven track record in cloud-native application design.
  • Familiarity with AI/ML services and LLM integration (AWS Bedrock, OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar); understanding of AI system design patterns, responsible AI practices, and prompt engineering.
  • Deep expertise in AWS cloud services and serverless technologies.
  • Experience in leading and mentoring technical teams with a hands-on approach to project management.
  • Profound understanding of DevOps principles and the software development lifecycle.
  • AWS Certified Solutions Architect certification is highly desirable.
  • Understanding of security architecture principles including zero-trust design, OWASP standards, and data privacy compliance (GDPR, SOC 2).
  • Exceptional problem-solving skills, with the ability to communicate complex ideas effectively.
  • Fluent in English, both written and spoken.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with infrastructure as code, preferably using AWS CloudFormation or Terraform.
  • Experience working with DynamoDB
  • Experience working with Azure Pipelines
