Job Description

• Orchestrate the Final Mile: Lead the integration of modern, AI-generated applications (built in **Python/FastAPI** and **React**) with backend enterprise layers, specifically interacting with **Databricks** and legacy data environments. • Architect & Prove the Release: Design, document, and execute a robust CI/CD and release strategy. You will be the one "making it live," setting up **Docker** containers and **Kubernetes** clusters that comply with rigid enterprise security standards. • Navigate Technical Friction: Act as a high-EQ consultant to bridge the gap between our high-velocity delivery model and the client’s internal teams. You will negotiate infrastructure access and "sell" modern engineering practices to traditional stakeholders. • Player-Coach Leadership: Work directly with a small CompassX team to refine code output and mentor client-side engineering teams on maintaining the new, automated deployment pipelines. • System Reliability: Ensure that integrated solutions are not just functional but production-ready, focusing on scalability, security, and the seamless flow of data between the app layer and the data lake.

Job Requirements

  • Principal-Level Engineering: 10+ years of experience in software engineering with a "builder first" mindset. You must be highly proficient in **Python (FastAPI)** and **React**.
  • Deployment Mastery: Deep, hands-on expertise in **Containerization (Docker)** and **Orchestration (Kubernetes)**. You should have a proven track record of taking a codebase from a local environment to a live, secured enterprise production state.
  • Data Fluency: Experience working with modern data platforms; familiarity with **Databricks** or similar large-scale data lake architectures is a significant advantage.
  • Consulting & Political Acumen: Experience in a boutique or consulting environment is preferred. You must have the "soft skills" to navigate a fast-paced, challenging environment and build consensus among stakeholders
  • AI-Ready Mindset: A passion for **AI-driven development**. You are excited by the prospect of using AI tools to accelerate the "boring" parts of coding so you can focus on high-value architectural orchestration.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary with performance-based bonus
  • PTO, holidays, and sabbatical program
  • Health, dental, vision, and life insurance
  • Retirement plan with company match from day one
  • Learning and professional development support
  • Small-firm culture with direct access to leadership
