Senior Engineer- Platform

Technical Overview

We are seeking a technical leader to drive the implementation for our next-generation eCommerce and customer experience platform. This role is pivotal in shifting our engineering strategy from monolithic applications to a flexible, scalable, and distributed web ecosystem.

Architectural Strategy & Vision

• Enable the high-level architecture and implementation of a highly scalable, distributed front-end ecosystem, utilizing modern modular architecture patterns to host independent functional applications.

Platform Engineering

• Design and implement core platform services (Identity, Account, App Configuration, Entitlements) that serve as the foundation for all product teams, ensuring a unified and resilient customer experience.

Technical Standardization

• Define and enforce strict coding standards, application lifecycle contracts, and integration patterns to ensure application isolation and memory optimization across the system.

Cross-Team Leadership

• Influence multiple product teams by establishing shared APIs product platforms.

Performance & Scalability

• Drive architectural improvements that ensure the platform remains performant, responsive, eliminating bottlenecks associated with large volume product client applications.

Mentorship & Code Fluency

• Serve as the technical authority for engineers; mentor senior engineers, review complex technical designs, and solve the deepest coding/debugging challenges related to state management and asynchronous loading, and coding standards.

DevOps & CI/CD Integration

• Collaborate with DevOps to implement compliance-based deployment strategies that allow for atomic rollouts and instant rollbacks without requiring full platform regression testing.

Build vs. Buy

• Conduct strategic evaluations for new technologies and tools to improve developer velocity and long-term code health.

Contribute to the Technical Recruitment Process

• Write high-level technical documentation and white papers to communicate design decisions to executive stakeholders and non-technical audiences.

Technical Liaison

• Perform other duties and responsibilities as required, assigned, or requested.

Requirements

• 10+ years of software engineering experience with a focus on high-scale web applications.
• 8+ years design experience with a mastery of Java, Spring Frameworks, SQL, React, MFE, and modern frameworks with deep experience in component design and performance optimization.
• Demonstrated success leading cross-functional technical initiatives or platform re-architecture projects.
• Proven experience establishing engineering best practices, code quality standards, and technical roadmaps across multiple teams.
• Leveraging AI tools like Q, Co-Pilot, Kiro, Claude to accelerate design and development.
• Proven track record of reducing technical debt or improving developer velocity through redesign.
• Strategic Influence: Ability to support multi-year technical strategy and influence direction across teams without direct authority.
• Problem Solving: Proactively identifies systemic risks (e.g., single points of failure) and designs solutions to mitigate them before they impact productivity.
• Communication: Expert capability in communicating complex design & architectural topics (whiteboarding systems with drill-down capability) to both engineering teams and executive leadership.
• Autonomy: Takes ownership of significant, multi-team projects and drives them to completion with high standards for quality and detail.
• Experience working in regulated industries such as Legal, Healthcare, or FinTech.
• Familiarity with legacy protocols (e.g., Fax, SIP) or bridging legacy systems with modern web interfaces.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes).
