Role Summary

As a lead software engineer you are accountable for shaping and delivering end-to-end solutions for enterprise-grade platforms and complex initiatives. You will set technical direction define and govern architecture and lead delivery execution for a specific solution area while influencing adjacent domains. You are hands-on and outcome-driven: designing and building critical path components raising engineering standards and scaling team effectiveness through mentorship patterns and automation.

You will partner closely with Architecture Security Infrastructure and Product to ensure solutions are resilient secure-by-design scalable observable and compliant with enterprise standards. You will also pioneer responsible AI-assisted engineering (vibe coding) by establishing guardrails validations and governance that enable speed without compromising quality.

This opportunity is with the Enterprise Data Management Office (EDMO) where you will deliver Data Catalog services as a productdriving enterprise-wide data discovery governance and self-service access to trusted data assets.

Key Outcomes

• An end-to-end technical solution is delivered predictably with strong SDLC discipline (design build test deploy operate).

• Architecture decisions are documented traceable and aligned with enterprise standards; trade-offs are explicit and risk-managed.

• Engineering quality improves quarter-over-quarter through standards automation and coaching (security performance maintainability).

• Production stability is strong: high availability clear SLOs/SLAs fast incident recovery and actionable observability.

• Teams ship faster with confidence due to reusable patterns platform capabilities and AI-enabled workflows with robust guardrails.

Customer

• Lead end-to-end solution architecture and delivery: define solution options align cross-functional stakeholders own execution and ensure production readiness for complex systems.

• Drive hands-on engineering and modernization: deliver critical components resolve bottlenecks and implement target-state architecture with incremental de-risked migration strategies.

• Ensure resilient scalable and efficient platforms: define and validate NFRs automate delivery manage dependencies and continuously improve performance availability and cost efficiency.

AI Workflow Innovation & Governance

• Champion AI-assisted development using modern copilots and LLM agents to accelerate delivery while maintaining enterprise-grade standards.

• Design and roll out AI guardrails: approved use cases prompt patterns code provenance expectations and documentation standards.

• Implement validation pipelines for AI-generated code: linting/formatting unit/integration tests SAST/DAST dependency scanning secret detection and architectural rules.

• Define human-in-the-loop review requirements (code review checklists threat modeling design reviews) for high-risk changes.

• Establish a repeatable AI workflow for the team (task decomposition generation verification refactoring and documentation) and measure cycle-time impact.

• Promote responsible use: privacy data handling IP considerations auditability and compliance with internal policies and external regulations.

Shareholder

• Ensure governance compliance and risk alignment: adhere to enterprise frameworks drive approvals and manage policies in line with business priorities and risk appetite.
