• Drive technical decision-making for data architecture, including PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redshift
• Design and maintain Java-based APIs and microservices, including REST, OpenAPI, GraphQL, and gRPC-based services
• Champion engineering best practices across code quality, testing (unit/integration), CI/CD, and observability
• Mentor and lead junior and mid-level engineers, setting clear standards through code reviews and technical guidance
• Independently identify, scope, and propose solutions to complex technical problems with minimal direction
• Optimize systems for performance, scalability, resiliency, and low-latency operation
• Participate actively in Agile ceremonies, contributing to planning, execution, and continuous improvement

Required Qualifications

• 12+ years of hands-on experience building enterprise-grade backend systems
• Strong expertise in Java, Spring Boot, microservices architecture, and distributed systems
• Proven experience with Kafka and event-driven architectures in high-throughput environments
• Solid experience with SQL and data modeling, including relational and NoSQL systems

• Demonstrated ability to design fault-tolerant, highly available systems
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
