About the role
The Software Developer III owns delivery of complex features and small systems through production, resolving ambiguous, open-ended problems without hand-holding, within Old National Bank's Product Engineering organization, and sets the technical direction for their own work. This is an experienced individual-contributor role, one of three experience levels in our Software Developer family (Levels I, II, and III). You may mentor peers and lead design and code reviews for your area, but people management and org-wide governance belong to separate tracks.
Responsibilities
- Convert business intent and specifications into shipped features that meet functional, non-functional, and compliance requirements, increasingly using agentic and AI-assisted workflows.
- Write and review high-quality code when establishing patterns, building secure components, integrating services, or ensuring AI-produced code meets standards.
- Ensure both human-written and AI-assisted code is validated through automated testing and continuous verification to maintain safety and correctness.
- Optimize for outcomes: improve cycle time, reliability/SLOs, quality, and delivery economics; apply engineering effort where it provides the most leverage or safety.
- Identify ambiguity, dependencies, and operational risk early; harden prototypes into resilient production systems.
- Follow the bank's change-management discipline - ship changes to production through documented review and approval, respecting segregation of duties and auditability.
- Design and build AI-enabled systems on Amazon Bedrock, and secure them by applying Bedrock Guardrails and prompt designs that defend against prompt injection, prompt leaking, and jailbreaking.
- Design and operate AWS cloud-native / serverless systems using GitOps CI/CD and Terraform.
- Set and document technical patterns for your area, and influence the broader technical direction.
- Mentor Developer I and II engineers through pair programming and code-review coaching, in software design, coding best practices, and agentic workflows.
- Lead design and code reviews for your area.
- Partner with product, security, and risk to shape acceptance criteria and appropriate controls, and apply responsible-AI practices (evaluation, guardrails, human-in-the-loop) in a regulated environment.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience (at this level, a track record of owning production systems carries the most weight).
- 5–8 years of professional software engineering experience, including ownership of complex, production systems.
- Strong proficiency in two or more of Go, Python, and TypeScript, including API design, integration patterns, and cloud-native development.
- Experience with AWS, CI/CD, and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform); familiarity with serverless architectures.
- Demonstrated ability to build secure, reliable systems and to raise the quality bar for a team through reviews and mentorship.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience building features that integrate existing AI models - retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), tool/function calling, agent orchestration, evaluations, and guardrails.
- Experience with AI evaluation / observability, guardrails, and policy-as-code.
- Experience delivering compliant software in a regulated financial-services environment.
