Cloud Infrastructure & IaC Ownership: Design, build, and maintain Google Cloud Platform (GCP) infrastructure using Terraform—authoring reusable modules, managing environment promotion, and maintaining state management at portfolio scale. AI-Assisted Software Engineering: Champion the use of generative AI tools and agentic coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, custom LLM agents) to streamline the software development lifecycle, automate testing, and accelerate CI/CD pipelines. Product & Requirements Management: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate business goals into technical requirements, user stories, and automated test suites within an Agile framework. Technical Design & Architecture: Author comprehensive technical design documents, system architecture diagrams, and API specifications to ensure scalable, secure, and maintainable full-stack systems. Modern Operations & DevOps: Build robust CI/CD deployment pipelines on GCP, integrate automated security and quality scanning, and implement modern Identity & Access Management (IAM) and automated credential rotation using Terraform. Reliability & Continuous Improvement: Drive proactive problem management, root cause analysis (RCA), and incident resolution to ensure high availability and performance of critical analytical systems. Minimum Requirements We Seek Requires a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Technology, or a related quantitative/technology field. 4+ years of professional experience in Software Engineering. 3+ years of experience with modern frontend frameworks (Angular, React, or Vue). 3+ years of experience with backend frameworks (FastAPI, Flask, Django, or Spring Boot). 2+ years of experience with Python (highly preferred for AI/Data) and/or Java. 3+ years of hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP)—compute, storage, networking, and IAM. 2+ years of experience authoring and maintaining Infrastructure as Code (IaC) via Terraform modules, including remote state management and CI/CD-driven plan/apply workflows. Preferred Qualifications Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related quantitative field. Experience integrating LLM APIs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Vertex AI) or open-source models into production software applications. AI & Agentic Frameworks: Experience with LLM orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex) and multi-agent development platforms (e.g., CrewAI, AutoGen, Semantic Kernel). Advanced GCP & DevOps: GCP Certification (e.g., Professional Cloud Architect or DevOps Engineer); hands-on experience with Cloud Build, Tekton, multi-environment Terraform deployment, and multi-cloud architectures (Azure/AWS a plus). Software Craftsmanship: Deep understanding of software engineering disciplines including eXtreme Programming (XP), Clean Code principles, Test-Driven Development (TDD), and Pair/Mob programming. Agile Mindset: Comfortable working with Agile tools (Jira, Rally) in a fast-paced, continuous-delivery environment.
