• Help advance the team’s use of AI-assisted and agentic software engineering, applying new approaches to improve development speed, quality, and maintainability
• Design and operate cloud-native architectures in AWS, including serverless and event-driven systems
• Work within and integrate with Q2’s enterprise banking platform, including navigating and modifying C#/.NET integration points when needed
Improve observability, testing, deployment practices, and operational reliability across production services
• Partner with data scientists, product teams, and other engineers to bring fraud detection capabilities from concept into production
• Research new technologies and engineering approaches and apply them where they meaningfully improve the platform
• Mentor other engineers and help establish maintainable patterns and strong engineering practices

• Experience with Git-based development workflows and modern Python development tooling
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Effective communication skills and ability to collaborate across engineering, data science, and product teams
• Interest in using AI-powered and agentic development tools to improve software engineering workflows

PREFERRED

• Experience with AWS services such as Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS, Kinesis, and S3
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as CloudFormation, SAM, Terraform, or CDK
• Experience modernizing or incrementally improving mature production systems

• Experience with banking, payments, fraud prevention, or other high-volume financial systems
