Responsibilities

  • Strong proficiency in at least one backend language: Python, Java, or Node.js, with deep understanding of language internals and performance characteristics
  • Proven track record of designing, building, and operating microservices architectures at scale in production
  • Design the software and systems in your area of ownership, ensuring they meet their design objectives and align with longer-term business needs
  • Handle complex software modules that are logically dense - whether from business, idempotence, robustness, or scalability requirements
  • Simplify code and infrastructure, prioritizing tasks that measurably reduce maintenance and migration costs
  • Preemptively identify and resolve technical risks before they jeopardize projects; resolve cross-team dependencies early
  • Debug and reproduce non-deterministic bugs and system issues that would normally escape less experienced engineers
  • Deep experience with cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, or Azure) including architecture decisions, cost optimization, and multi-region deployments
  • Expert-level knowledge of containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes) in production environments
  • Strong experience with CI/CD pipelines, deployment strategies (blue-green, canary), and automated quality gates
  • Advanced database skills: query optimization, sharding strategies, replication, and data modeling for high-throughput systems
  • Extensive experience with event-driven architectures and message brokers (Kafka, SQS/SNS, Pub/Sub) at scale
  • Deep understanding of caching layers (Redis, Memcached, CDN) and their role in system performance and reliability

Requirements

  • Track record of driving large-scale migrations, platform re-architecture, or system decomposition projects
  • Hands-on experience with observability at scale: custom metrics, distributed tracing, SLO/SLI frameworks, and incident management
