• Leverages enterprise-authorized AI coding assist tools within the work environment to improve code quality, delivery speed, and productivity across complex deliverables (e.g., code generation/refactoring, unit test creation, documentation), while validating outputs through peer review, automated testing, and secure coding standards; contributes learnings and reusable patterns to improve broader team effectiveness.
• Applies 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.
• Develop and enhance Java-based backend services to support high-volume transaction processing.
• Build and operate solutions using AWS services (e.g., Aurora Postgres, ECS/Fargate, EC2 as applicable) with a focus on scalability, reliability, and performance.
• Contribute to solution design by partnering with senior engineers/architects and participating in design reviews to ensure implementations align with technical standards and business needs.
• Use AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, where approved) to improve development efficiency, testing, and code quality.
• Follow and promote strong engineering practices (code reviews, CI/CD, testing, observability, documentation) and continuously improve the codebase.
• Collaborate with product managers and stakeholders to clarify requirements and translate them into technical deliverables.
• Support security and compliance requirements by applying secure coding practices and adhering to Community Banking standards and applicable regulatory expectations.

Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills

• Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 3+ years applied experience
• Demonstrated experience with Java backend development, object-oriented design, and common design patterns.
• Experience with AWS (e.g., Aurora Postgres, ECS/Fargate, Glue and/or Airflow) and building distributed services.
• Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to learn quickly in a complex domain.
• Solid communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively across engineering and product teams.
• Hands-on practical experience in system design, application development, testing, and operational stability
• Experience in developing, debugging, and maintaining code in a large corporate environment with one or more modern programming languages and database querying languages
• Hands-on experience using enterprise-authorized AI-assisted software development tools within the work environment (e.g., for coding, test creation, troubleshooting, or documentation) with demonstrated ability to critically evaluate, validate, and refine AI-generated outputs for correctness, performance, and security.
• Understanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows, including data sensitivity considerations, secure handling of inputs/outputs, and adherence to resiliency and security expectations; ability to guide peers on safe and effective usage within team practices.
• Overall knowledge of the Software Development Life Cycle. Solid understanding of agile methodologies such as CI/CD, Application Resiliency, and Security

Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills

• Financial services and/or connected commerce experience is a plus, but not required.

• Familiarity with AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., Copilot) is a plus (confirm tool approval for your environment before use).

• Familiarity with modern front-end technologies

• Exposure to cloud technologies
