  • Design and build scalable, AI-enabled systems and services that automate repetitive tasks and optimize complex workflows.
  • Modernize technical debt by converting ad-hoc scripts and notebook-driven processes into robust, maintainable production software.
  • Harden and validate solutions in development environments to ensure they meet rigorous standards for reliability, security, and scalability.

Strategic Collaboration

  • Embed with internal teams to identify friction points and translate business requirements into technical designs that reduce operational risk.
  • Partner with Product, Data, and Engineering to ensure all internal solutions align with the broader company roadmap and architectural standards.
  • Manage stakeholders by setting clear expectations, communicating progress, and facilitating feedback loops to drive continuous improvement.

Enablement & Operational Excellence

  • Drive adoption through the creation of lightweight training materials and hands-on enablement for new system implementations.
  • Standardize documentation including system architectures, operational playbooks, and handoff plans to ensure long-term stability and ease of use.

  • Bridge Builder: Ability to translate exploratory work from JupyterLab or ad-hoc scripts into maintainable, production-ready software.

Data & Systems Architecture

  • Data Foundations: Solid understanding of SQL/NoSQL databases, data modeling, and structured data management.
  • Systems Thinking: Ability to design for cloud environments while maintaining a strong foundation in software engineering principles.
  • Applied AI: Skill in evaluating where AI provides genuine leverage versus where traditional software solutions are more appropriate.

Problem Solving & Execution

  • Strategic Pragmatism: A "progress over perfection" mindset, with the ability to identify patterns, evaluate trade-offs, and prioritize high-impact solutions.
  • Ambiguity Management: Comfortable navigating messy, real-world business processes and technical challenges in a fast-paced environment.
  • Analytical Debugging: Strong troubleshooting skills with the ability to reason through complex system failures.

Communication & Collaboration

  • Cross-Functional Fluency: Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders clearly.
  • Collaborative Spirit: Experience working in fast-moving teams where iterative feedback and flexibility are key to success.

Nice-to-Haves

Form CC-305

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
