Job responsibilities

• Partners with Lines of Business application teams to implement AI Foundation Services capabilities that unblock GenAI/AI use cases supporting delivery from technical design through build launch and early operational support
• Builds and enhances reusable platform services APIs SDKs and libraries that standardize how application teams consume model hosting inference and AI/ML managed services
• Translates functional and non-functional application requirements into clear technical designs engineering tasks and delivery milestones with support from senior engineers and architects
• Develops secure stable and high-quality production code and participates in code reviews debugging testing and remediation of defects across AI Foundation Services components
• Creates and maintains reusable engineering assets such as reference implementations runbooks test harnesses baseline configurations and onboarding guides to accelerate adoption across teams
• Drives team adoption of enterprise-authorized AI-assisted engineering practices within the work environment to improve code quality delivery speed and operational outcomes (e.g. AI-assisted code review/refactoring test strategy acceleration incident/root-cause analysis support) while establishing consistent validation standards (secure coding peer review automated testing) and promoting reuse of effective patterns across the team.
• Applies knowledge of tools within the Software Development Life Cycle toolchain including enterprise-authorized AI-assisted development and automation capabilities to improve the value realized by automation.
• Designs and implements scalable software components using appropriate software design patterns cloud-native practices and platform engineering standards
• Collaborates with cross-functional teams across product architecture security infrastructure and application development to resolve technical dependencies and deliver production-ready capabilities
• Contributes to technical methods standards documentation and implementation patterns within AI Foundation Services helping improve consistency reliability and reuse across delivery teams
• Communicates technical progress risks dependencies and implementation options to engineering managers product partners and senior technical stakeholders
