In this contingent resource assignment, you may: Consult on complex initiatives with broad impact and large-scale planning for Software Engineering. Review and analyze complex multi-faceted, larger scale or longer-term Software Engineering challenges that require in-depth evaluation of multiple factors including intangibles or unprecedented factors. Contribute to the resolution of complex and multi-faceted situations requiring solid understanding of the function, policies, procedures, and compliance requirements that meet deliverables. Strategically collaborate and consult with client personnel.
Required Qualifications:
5+ years of Software Engineering experience, or equivalent demonstrated through one or a combination of the following: work or consulting experience, training, military experience, education.
Technical architecture: Define target architectures, reference designs, and roadmaps; drive architecture reviews, and cross domain integrations.
System design & delivery: Translate business needs into well scoped designs (capacity, reliability, security, cost) and deliver them as production systems in Python/Java on OCP/Kubernetes.
AI solutioning: Deliver LLM powered features with Gemini and GPT (prompting, function/tool calling, RAG); design evaluation frameworks (golden sets, offline/online tests, guardrails, cost/latency/quality SLIs).
Agentic frameworks: Build agent workflows with LangChain and Google AIDK/Vertex AI agents.
Security & compliance by design: Embed security controls (secrets, policies, SBOMs, supply chain checks) and model risk/AI safety controls into pipelines and runtime.
Independently solve ambiguity: Decompose ill defined problems, run spikes, present options with trade offs, and drive decisions that balance speed, safety, and cost.
End to end SDLC ownership: Establish and continuously improve SDLC processes—Definition of Ready/Done, branching/versioning, code review quality bars, test strategy, release and change management.
Operational excellence: Define SLOs/SLIs, instrument services (OpenTelemetry/Prometheus), champion SRE practices, and drive incident readiness/post incident learning.
