You will bring a broad ownership mindset to this role, enhancing a platform used by knowledge workers across the world.

iM Responsible For…

• Owning technical initiatives end to end, from understanding the problem and requirements through design, architecture, implementation, and delivery, with minimal day-to-day oversight

• Designing and implementing modern, cloud-native systems that help iManage Work scale to meet current and future demand
• Collaborating within cross-functional engineering teams as well as peer teams to build an integrated solution
• Staying hands-on enough to remain technically credible, including applying AI tools thoughtfully as part of daily engineering work

• Guiding and mentoring engineers, influencing technical direction across the team and peer teams, and helping establish patterns and practices that enable the organization to take on more ambitious work

• A demonstrated record of owning complex technical initiatives from problem definition through delivery, including work driven independently with minimal oversight
• Hands-on experience in Java, microservices, and event-driven architectures, built through delivering real production systems
• Experience designing and delivering cloud-native systems at scale, with Azure preferred
• The ability to think critically about how architectural patterns apply to a scenario, and the skills to articulate the benefits of applying those patterns
• A practical, applied understanding of AI in the engineering workflow: comfortable using AI coding tools effectively, and able to explain and stand behind whatever you ship
• Comfort operating with ambiguity, taking ownership across multiple areas, and adapting to changing priorities; experience in consulting or startup environments is a plus
• A bachelor's or master's degree in computer science or a related field
• Proficiency with relational and NoSQL database systems
• Experience with the Linux platform as a development and runtime environment
• Knowledge of secure coding and design practices, including threat modeling, is a plus
