• Partner with global engineering, SRE, product, and operations teams to deliver features and resolve complex production issues.
• Drive engineering best practices, including code quality, automated testing, CI/CD, and operational readiness.
• Participate actively in agile ceremonies (sprint planning, reviews, retrospectives) and contribute to continuous delivery.
• Support platform observability, incident analysis, and post‑incident improvements to reduce operational risk.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a culture of technical excellence and ownership.

Qualifications

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate technical concepts and collaborate across functions.
• Hands‑on experience building backend platforms using Java and Spring (Spring Boot preferred).
• Knowledge working with event driven platforms, such as Apache KAFKA, RabbitMQ, NATS, or other equivalents.
• Experience working with Cloud Services, such as AWS, GCP, Azure, or PCF.
• Proven experience developing and operating mission‑critical, highly available systems in production environments.
• Strong understanding of distributed systems, including scalability, fault tolerance, concurrency, and performance tuning.
• Experience working with global, geographically distributed teams.
• Solid experience working in an agile (Scrum / SAFe) environment.
• Demonstrate a sense of ownership and accountability for delivered software and operational outcomes.
