We offer unique opportunities to work on interesting global projects in an environment that appreciates diversity, focuses on talent development and recognizes and rewards great work.

In this role, you will drive engineering excellence through design skills, clean implementation, and a focus on operational quality. You will contribute to architecture and technical direction, review code and designs, and use AI-assisted development tools e.g., GitHub Copilot, agentic coding workflows, GenAI-based code review and test generation in a disciplined, production-grade way — taking full responsibility for the quality and safety of AI-generated artifacts and applying Responsible AI practices. You will improve developer velocity through automation, tooling, and AI-powered workflows, use telemetry to troubleshoot issues and continuously improve performance, reliability, and cost, and — where applicable — help integrate AI capabilities such as LLMs, agents, and model-backed features into production systems. You will also mentor others and help raise the team's engineering bar through collaboration, experimentation with new AI practices, and a growth mindset.
