• Leverage enterprise-authorized AI coding assist tools within the work
environment to improve code quality, delivery speed, and productivity (e.g.,
code generation/refactoring, unit test creation, documentation), while
validating outputs through peer review, automated testing, and secure coding
standards
• Apply knowledge of tools within the Software Development Life Cycle
toolchain, including enterprise-authorized AI-assisted development and
automation capabilities, to improve the value realized by automation
Required Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills:

and domain-driven design
• Experience with containerization and orchestration tools such as Docker and
Kubernetes
• Understanding of Infrastructure as Code tools (e.g., Terraform) and
environment provisioning
• Experience with observability tools and concepts (logging, metrics, tracing,
OpenTelemetry)
• Exposure to integrating AI capabilities (semantic search, retrieval-based
Q&A, content summarization) with attention to quality, privacy, and
