- Strong backend development skills using Python, Java, or similar languages.
- Hands-on expertise with Kubernetes, microservices, and service-oriented architectures.
- Ability to design and scale enterprise software that automates operational workflows.
- Experience with LLM APIs, MCP, and GenAI frameworks.
- Strong programming discipline including CI/CD, automated testing, observability, and monitoring.
- Familiarity with cloud-native stacks such as GCP and Azure.
Responsibilities
- Use GenAI to accelerate the design and implementation of end-to-end applications using backend technologies such as Python, Java, Node.js, and Go.
- Integrate LLMs, MCP, and agent-based workflows into enterprise applications that replace manual OE/EE tracking and project management.
- Build modular, configurable, reusable frameworks that scale across hundreds of engineering teams.
- Architect and deploy systems using Kubernetes, containerized microservices, and service-oriented architectures.
- Automate OE/EE metrics, modernization tracking, and engineering maturity assessments using AI-driven workflows.
- Build AI tools that reduce manual reporting and project management overhead.
- Replace manual follow-ups and escalations with intelligent agentic workflows.
Other
- This role requires both hands-on development and technical leadership.
- Represent SCMAL in company-wide OE/EE forums.
- Lead OE/EE champions to act on organizational priorities.
- Communicate advancements, tooling updates, and best practices to the broader developer community.
