• Translate business, customer-experience, legal, and regulatory requirements into clear technical designs and executable engineering plans.
• Design solutions that consistently capture, associate, retrieve, update, and honor customer choices across anonymous, email-based, and authenticated experiences.
• Establish robust engineering patterns for consent records, versioning, auditability, identity association, retention, access control, and lifecycle management.
• Lead complex engineering initiatives across the full software development lifecycle, from discovery and architecture through implementation, launch, monitoring, and ongoing operation.
• Make sound technical decisions by balancing security, scalability, reliability, cost, delivery speed, customer impact, and long-term maintainability.
• Build and integrate API-driven services across customer experiences, identity systems, enterprise applications, cloud data stores, and third-party consent-management technologies.
• Partner with experience and capability owners to ensure technical solutions enable consistent consent experiences across relevant digital touchpoints.
• Improve platform reliability through monitoring, alerting, performance analysis, capacity planning, incident response, and operational automation.
• Explore and apply AI-enabled development practices to improve engineering productivity, system quality, platform operations, or delivery outcomes.
• Mentor engineers through design guidance, code reviews, technical pairing, and knowledge sharing, raising the technical capability of the broader team.
• Participate in the team’s on-call schedule and support critical production services when required.

Requirements

• 7+ years of professional software engineering experience building and operating modern, multi-tier applications and services in production environments.

• Strong experience designing and developing API-driven platforms that integrate customer experiences, identity systems, data stores, vendor products, or enterprise applications.
• Proficiency in one or more modern programming languages and frameworks, with the ability to evaluate and adopt technologies based on platform needs.
• Strong understanding of distributed systems design, including service boundaries, asynchronous processing, failure handling, scalability, resiliency, and eventual consistency.
• Experience designing data models and services that require strong auditability, version history, traceability, and accurate point-in-time answers.
• Understanding of consent management, customer preferences, responsible data use, or related data-governance concepts.
• Strong knowledge of data-management principles, including ownership, classification, quality, lineage, retention, access control, auditability, and lifecycle management.
• Experience with cloud-native architectures, including containerized workloads (e.g., EKS, ECS) and managed data stores (e.g., RDS, DynamoDB) on AWS or comparable cloud platforms.
• Experience implementing secure service-to-service integrations, authentication and authorization controls, encryption, secrets management, and least-privilege access.
• Familiarity with security standards, dependency scanning, and vulnerability management.
• Excellent communication skills to simplify technical issues for cross-functional stakeholders.
• A mentor who models clean code, documentation, and continuous improvement.
