• Own the technical strategy for offline-first architecture, ensuring durability and eventual consistency during extended network outages.
• Build and maintain Kubernetes deployments via Helm charts for edge clusters managed through Spectro Cloud Palette.
• Optimize services for memory, CPU, and disk constrained environments typical of in-store hardware.
• Collaborate with cloud platform teams to design seamless cloud-to-edge data flows using MQTT-based bridging.
• Provide technical leadership through architecture reviews, code reviews, and mentorship of engineers.
• Partner with Product and DevOps to plan phased rollouts and gradual migrations from legacy systems.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent practical experience.
• 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, including experience operating production distributed systems.
• Experience acting as a technical lead, owning system design and guiding engineering decisions.

• Kubernetes and Helm for container orchestration.
• Authentication and authorization using OAuth2 and JWT.
• Strong experience with Event-driven and streaming architectures.
• CI/CD pipelines such as GitLab CI or GitHub Actions.
• Docker and containerized service development.
• Designing systems for resource-constrained or embedded environments.
