The Role

Help build an AI-powered framework for transforming complex analytical software into scalable cloud-native platforms.

Many high-value analytical applications were originally designed for single-node or limited-scale execution and struggle to efficiently process today’s increasingly large and complex datasets. This role focuses on transforming those applications into scalable, distributed solutions running on a Spark-based cloud platform.

Working alongside domain experts, distributed computing specialists, and platform engineers, you will analyze existing software systems, redesign computational workflows, and leverage AI-assisted engineering techniques to accelerate software modernization.

This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy understanding unfamiliar codebases, solving challenging scalability problems, and using modern AI development tools to improve engineering productivity and system performance.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and develop a next-generation AI-powered software transformation framework capable of accelerating the modernization of complex analytical applications.

  • Define architectural patterns and transformation methodologies for converting legacy computational tools into scalable cloud-native solutions.

  • Use AI agents, LLMs, and emerging AI engineering techniques to automate software analysis, code transformation, validation, and optimization.

  • Collaborate with distributed computing specialists to design target architectures that leverage Spark-based execution models for large-scale data processing.

  • Lead technical investigations into how existing software systems can be restructured, decomposed, or re-implemented to operate efficiently in distributed environments.

  • Build reusable transformation pipelines, automation tooling, and engineering frameworks that enable software modernization at scale.

  • Establish validation strategies and quality frameworks to ensure transformed systems maintain functional correctness and reproducibility.

  • Drive architectural decisions around scalability, maintainability, performance, and long-term platform evolution.

  • Partner with domain experts to understand application requirements while translating those requirements into scalable technical solutions.

  • Prototype and evaluate new AI-assisted engineering approaches that improve transformation speed, engineering productivity, and software quality.

  • Contribute to the organization’s long-term strategy for AI-driven software modernization and engineering automation.

Qualifications

  • Experience with Apache Spark, PySpark, or other distributed computing frameworks.

  • Experience with Python, Scala and Spark-based application development.

  • Experience modernizing legacy applications or migrating software to new architectures.

  • Experience working with scientific computing, data-intensive applications, analytics platforms, or high-performance computing systems.

  • Experience with workflow orchestration, automation frameworks, or platform engineering.

  • Familiarity with cloud-native data processing architectures.

  • Experience measuring and improving application scalability, performance, and infrastructure efficiency.

Lifelong Skills

  • Inquisitive Mindset: Demonstrates a deep-rooted curiosity, constantly seeking to understand project details and underlying principles, indicative of a continuous learning approach.

  • Clarity and Insight: Actively seeks clarity and understanding of project requirements to ensure accurate and effective implementation.

  • Depth of Perception: Has talent for looking beyond initial requests, intuitively grasping and addressing the core needs and objectives underlying a project.

  • Implementation Insight: Skilled in outlining and describing the phases of project implementation, breaking down complex tasks into manageable steps.

  • Articulate Communication: Exhibits strong verbal and written communication skills, adept at tailoring messages effectively for different audiences, ensuring that it is not only clear but also contextually relevant and empathetic.
