Solutions Engineer, Software - Enterprise Core Platform Modernization

Hiring Manager: Steven Guyardi

The Enterprise Core Platform Modernization (ECPM) team within Global Digital Services (GDS) is hiring a Solutions Software Engineer with a primary focus on AI-enabled modernization, including agentic AI. As a technical leader within the program, you will design, prototype, and guide teams to implement AI-assisted and agent-driven workflows, define evaluation metrics, guardrails, and observability for AI outputs, and integrate AI solutions into the repeatable modernization factory to accelerate and scale modernization, including retirement and transpilation, across the enterprise. You will translate architectural direction into implementation-ready engineering patterns and automation, oversee delivery of POTs/POCs, and establish best-industry standards for validation, security, resiliency, and operational observability of modernization outputs. Partnering closely with architects, platform teams, and vendors, you will drive technical direction, enable cross-team alignment, mentor engineers, and champion adoption of AI capabilities to accelerate and scale modernization.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and prototype AI-enabled modernization solutions (including agentic AI) and guide teams to implement AI-assisted and agent-driven workflows to support and accelerate modernization efforts.
• Integrate AI solutions into the repeatable modernization factory, covering retirement and transpilation, to accelerate and scale enterprise modernization efforts.
• Translate architectural direction into implementation-ready engineering patterns, reusable templates, automation frameworks, and factory capabilities that enable consistent execution across projects.
• Serve as a technical leader and trusted decision partner, drive technical direction with architects, vendor partners, security/compliance teams, and program leadership.
• Support cloud-native modernization efforts on AWS and Kubernetes (EKS or equivalent), including CI/CD for containerized applications and integrating monitoring and security tooling for modernization outputs.
• Define and enforce validation, security, resiliency, and observability standards for modernization outputs and incorporate them into templates and runbooks.
• Identify systemic technical risks, dependencies, and modernization challenges across platforms, drive mitigation plans and act as a technical escalation point for issues.
• Evaluate tool/vendor options and run targeted POCs/POTs to inform enterprise adoption decisions.
• Partner with architects, platform engineering, security, product teams, and vendors to ensure technical alignment, smooth integrations, and operational readiness.
• Mentor engineers, lead design reviews, promote AI, reuse and standardization, and evolve engineering practices to increase throughput and reduce modernization risk.
