Job Level
About the role
- Architecture Leadership: Lead solution design for the highest-complexity initiatives across both product and platform domains. Deliver technical designs that balance speed-to-market with long-term platform health. You own the intercept point where product needs and platform capabilities meet.
- AI-Powered Product Delivery: Design and ship AI-powered features into production (intelligent recommendations, automated compliance, predictive lifecycle, or similar). These should demonstrate real customer value, not AI for the sake of AI.
- Platform Evolution: Own and deliver critical modernization efforts spanning service decomposition, event-driven architecture, and data migration. Design for intelligence from the start, not as an afterthought. Ensure platform investments directly unblock product delivery.
- Engineering Craft: Establish and enforce coding standards, review guidelines, and architectural patterns across all engineering teams. Measurable improvement in code review cycle time and defect escape rate. Raise the quality bar so that every team ships with confidence.
- Cross-Domain Integration: Serve as the connective tissue between product engineering and platform engineering. Ensure shared services, APIs, and data contracts are designed for reuse across retail, commercial, and partner channels. Prevent architectural drift between squads.
- Technical Mentorship: Directly mentor Technical Leads across both product and platform domains on architecture, engineering craft, and AI-native development practices. At least 2 Tech Leads demonstrating measurable growth in technical decision-making.
- Incident Response: Serve as the senior escalation point for P1/P2 production incidents across engineering. Reduce mean time to resolution by 40%.
Requirements
- AI Product Builder: You have built and shipped AI-powered features or products in production. You understand the full lifecycle: from model selection and prompt engineering through deployment, monitoring, and iteration. You have a strong opinion on where AI creates real value vs. where it is theater.
- Deep Technical Craft: You write production code daily. You can pick up a complex PR, identify the architectural risk, and suggest a better approach with concrete implementation guidance. Your code is something other engineers learn from.
- Full-Stack Fluency: Strong across backend and frontend. You understand APIs, event-driven architecture, and how data flows through complex systems. You evaluate decisions across the entire stack.
- Architecture at Scale: You have designed and shipped systems serving significant traffic. You understand the tradeoffs between approaches, not just the patterns. You know when to invest in a clean abstraction and when to ship the pragmatic solution.
- Cross-Domain Thinking: You move comfortably between product delivery and platform infrastructure. You understand that great product engineering depends on great platform foundations, and you ensure the two evolve in lockstep.
- AI-Native Development: You personally use AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) and can demonstrate measurable productivity gains. You have developed workflows and patterns that multiply your output.
- Influence Through Craft: You raise the bar through code reviews, design sessions, and pairing. Engineers seek your input because your guidance makes them better, not because you have a title.
