- Identify, diagnose, and remediate performance bottlenecks, penetration testing vulnerabilities, and production issues with precision and root‑cause clarity.
- Collaborate cross‑functionally with AI scientists, architects, and product teams to translate business challenges into production‑ready, intelligent agentic systems.
Other Responsibilities:
- Turn tech stack and application design into code on multiple development platforms (e.g. iOS, Android, web/Angular, services).
- Address a variety of responses to problems, questions, or situations by applying established criteria to directly influence development outcomes. In doing so, use the right technology to solve technical challenges required to deliver small scale features and functions and / or supporting aspects of a larger program efforts.
- Responsible for applications systems analysis and programming activities that may include assisting with feasibility studies, time and cost estimates and implementation of new or revised applications systems and programs.
- Accountable for development, design, construction, testing and implementation and write secure, stable, testable and maintainable code.
- Expected to operate with autonomy, while some oversight and direction may be required.
- Engage in digital applications development, risk technology, Middleware, Mainframe applications, Non Mainframe applications, Analytic Model Development and Application support activities to meet specific business needs of user areas and to test systems to ensure integrity of deliverables.
- Expected to provide sound understanding of application development concepts and principles and a basic knowledge of concepts and principles in other technology areas.
- On occasion, may need to consult with users, clients and other technology groups on issues and recommend programming solutions for customer exposed systems.
- Take the time to fully learn the functionality, architecture, dependencies, and runtime properties of the systems involved with your projects. This includes the business requirements, applications/services, runtime operations (including trouble management/associated support strategies), and maintenance.
- Understand the business context and the associated customer use cases.
- Understand the team’s technologies and are able to evaluate system designs and architecture as you participate in solution discussions, development and the creation of application / systems documentation.
