Please review the following job description:

The Lead Software Engineer is a senior, hands-on engineering role responsible for designing, building, and operating enterprise platforms that enable software delivery to produce reliable, secure, and compliant outcomes at scale. This role operates with full domain expertise across the software delivery ecosystem and is accountable for implementing systems that embed quality, testing, and control outcomes directly into execution, eliminating reliance on manual processes, approvals, or after the fact validation.
This position is explicitly a hands-on keyboard engineering role, not a people management role, with direct responsibility for writing code, building platform capabilities, and integrating systems that enforce delivery behaviors. The Lead Software Engineer defines and implements platform capabilities that standardize, automate, and enforce critical outcomes across the portfolio, enabling order of magnitude improvements in delivery speed, quality, and operational efficiency.
The role designs and operationalizes policy driven and agent driven execution models, leveraging policy as code frameworks such as Open Policy Agent (OPA), observability systems, and Generative and Agentic AI capabilities to create intelligent, self-enforcing platforms. These platforms ensure that all applications and pipelines operate within defined guardrails and produce consistent, auditable, and machine-readable evidence as a byproduct of execution.
Acting as a technical authority across engineering, product, and control partners, this role drives platform strategy through direct implementation, builds self service capabilities that scale without central intervention, and ensures enterprise platforms deliver exponential impact without increasing operational friction. The outcome is a system where correct behavior is enforced by design, enabling delivery teams to move faster while maintaining reliability, transparency, and compliance.

*****Position has in office expectations 5 days per week. Role is NOT remote.*** To be located in our Charlotte, NC, Greensboro, NC or Raleigh, NC offices.*****

Lead Software Engineer, Expected Outcomes:

1. SDLC control system enforces by default

• All onboarded applications execute within a platform enforced system where quality, testing, and compliance outcomes are produced automatically

• Manual validation, approval gates, and evidence collection are eliminated or materially reduced

• Non-compliant execution is prevented or automatically remediated through policy enforcement

2. Evidence is generated automatically and audit ready

• All testing, control validation, and pipeline activity produces structured, immutable, machine-readable evidence

• Evidence is audit ready at creation with no manual reconciliation or post processing

• Full traceability exists from code change to execution to control validation to produced evidence

3. Policy as code is embedded and enforceable at scale

• Enterprise policies are implemented as code and executed directly within the platform
