About the role
Own delivery of complex, end-to-end engineering solutions, from data generation and ingestion through analytics, APIs, and user-facing experiences. Lead the design and implementation of scalable, high-performance, cloud-native data and application platforms. Architect data generation systems (synthetic, event-based, telemetry-driven) to support testing, analytics, and AI model development. Integrate AI-driven components (prediction, anomaly detection, intelligent insights) into production systems. Design and build agentic AI systems that can autonomously reason, plan, and execute tasks across engineering workflows. Act as a senior technical leader, driving architectural decisions and solving complex system challenges.
