Full description
Project description
Digital Technology team designs, develops, and maintains massively scaling technology solutions brought to life with innovative architectures, data analytics, digital solutions, and practical AI-enabled capabilities.
The Notifications team enables enterprise communication capabilities supporting customer and crew portfolios. This contractor role will focus on hands-on design, development, modernization, and production delivery of notification platform services, integrations, event-driven capabilities, and AI-enabled communication use cases.
Responsibilities
- The role of Senior Developer will have a technical focus on enabling Notifications at the enterprise level and supporting a robust communication platform for customer and crew portfolios. This is a hands-on senior individual contributor role. This is not a management role. The expectation is to actively design, code, debug, optimize, deploy, and support production-grade solutions.
- Design AND implement core services for the enterprise Notifications platform, including APIs, event-driven integrations, orchestration components, templates, and platform capabilities.
- Write, review, debug, and optimize production code actively; lead through hands-on engineering contribution rather than delegation.
- Build cloud-native backend services using Java, Spring Boot, Apache Camel, microservices, container technologies, and AWS services.
- Develop and integrate AI/GenAI capabilities hands-on, including prompt design, LLM integration, RAG pipelines, embeddings/vector search, semantic search, classification, summarization, and AI-assisted communication workflows.
- Prototype, validate, and productionize AI-enabled features while considering latency, accuracy, cost, monitoring, fallback design, and operational reliability.
- Design solutions for high availability, scalability, resiliency, observability, performance, security, privacy, and compliance needs.
- Support integrations with internal enterprise systems, eventing platforms, data providers, communication providers, and vendor-managed services as needed.
- Troubleshoot and resolve complex production issues directly, including performance bottlenecks, integration failures, data issues, and system reliability concerns.
- Work closely with architects, product owners, business stakeholders, development teams, and vendor teams to convert requirements into working solutions.
- Contribute to technical design, system documentation, code reviews, automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, release readiness, and production support practices.
- Ensure solutions are aligned with enterprise engineering standards, security expectations, and application lifecycle best practices.
