📋 Description

• Implement architectural patterns and standards defined by the Enterprise Architect and Solution Architects, including patterns for integrating LLMs and other AI components into existing services • Work within engineering teams to ensure solutions, including AI-powered features, align with established architecture decisions • Translate high-level architectural guidance into concrete implementation approaches • Identify implementation challenges early and escalate to Solution Architects when decisions need to be revisited • Validate that completed implementations meet architectural requirements through hands-on review • Design and implement patterns for integrating LLMs into product features, including prompt design, context management, and retrieval-augmented approaches • Apply prompt engineering techniques to build reliable, maintainable AI-driven features, and iterate on prompts based on observed model behavior • Use LLM observability tooling such as Langfuse to trace, evaluate, and debug AI workflows in development and production • Help define and apply evaluation approaches for AI features, covering accuracy, latency, cost, and safety considerations • Partner with Solution Architects and Enterprise Architect on standards for responsible and secure use of AI across the platform • Write code regularly, this role requires significant time in the codebase implementing patterns and working alongside developers • Conduct detailed code reviews focused on architectural alignment, code quality, and maintainability • Pair with developers to work through complex implementation challenges, including those involving LLM integrations • Build and maintain reference implementations, including AI feature reference implementations, that teams can use as starting points • Prototype approaches to validate architectural decisions before broader rollout • Embed with engineering teams on focused assignments based on architectural priorities • Build strong working relationships with developers and engineering leads • Participate in technical discussions, bringing architectural perspective to implementation decisions • Help teams understand the "why" behind architectural standards, not just the "what" • Surface patterns and challenges observed in teams back to Solution Architects and Enterprise Architect • Work closely with the Enterprise Architect and Solution Architects to understand how strategic architectural decisions are made • Seek feedback on architectural thinking and implementation approaches • Study our existing architecture, understanding the rationale behind current patterns and the history of key decisions • Develop broader perspective across the platform by working with multiple teams over time • Grow technical breadth across domains, including integration, data, cloud infrastructure, and applied AI, through hands-on experience • Document implementation patterns and approaches that teams can follow, including AI implementation patterns • Contribute to architecture decision records (ADRs) by capturing implementation learnings • Communicate clearly with developers about architectural expectations and rationale • Raise questions and surface ambiguities in architectural guidance to improve clarity for all teams

🎯 Requirements

• 4+ years of progressive experience in software engineering, with demonstrated technical leadership or senior developer experience • Strong hands-on coding skills, you're an experienced developer who writes production code regularly • Solid experience with at least one of our core languages/frameworks: .NET/C#, React, or Python • Hands-on experience building with large language models (LLMs) in production or near-production settings • Practical experience with prompt engineering, including designing, testing, and iterating on prompts for reliability and consistency • Experience with LLM observability or evaluation tooling such as Langfuse (or comparable platforms) • Familiarity with cloud platforms, particularly Azure or AWS • Understanding of modern application architectures: microservices, API design, event-driven patterns • Experience with code review practices and ability to provide constructive, actionable feedback • Ability to work across different teams and adapt to varying codebases and contexts • Strong communication skills, you can explain technical concepts clearly to other developers • Curiosity about the "big picture," you want to understand how systems fit together, not just your piece • Eagerness to learn and grow into broader architectural responsibilities • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field

🏖️ Benefits

• A fun, fast-paced work environment • Responsible PTO Plan that meets or exceeds state and local medical and family leave laws • 11 paid holidays • Community and social events to keep you connected and engaged • Mental Health Benefits • Medical, Dental and Vision insurance • Company-paid Group Life Insurance, Short- and Long-Term Disability • Flexible Spending Account & Health Savings Account • Aflac Benefits – Critical Illness, Cancer Protection, & Hospital Choice • Pet Insurance • 401 (k) with company match with eligibility on Day 1 of employment • 2 Paid Volunteer Time Off Days • And much more!
