Key Responsibilities

  • Write production-ready code and understand the pipeline and chart that ship it.
  • Write low-level designs that other engineers can build from, and represent the team in architecture reviews.
  • Threat-model each feature, designing authentication, authorization, and data handling from the start.
  • Instrument before release, participate in on-call duty, and drive faults to root causes.
  • Identify technical gaps early, propose fixes with associated costs and benefits, and utilize AI tooling.
  • Mentor engineers, maintain standards on tests and error handling, and interview candidates.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of experience with Java 17+, Spring Boot, and Spring Security, including debugging JVM and Spring issues from thread dumps, heap dumps, and traces.

  • Strong relational data modeling and query design skills, primarily in MySQL, including schema and index tuning proven under load.

  • Ability to write designs that other engineers can build from and review peers’ designs effectively.
  • Experience with deploying and running services on Kubernetes using Docker, Helm, AWS, and CI/CD; capable of debugging failed deployments from the chart or pipeline.
  • Ownership of a change from design through on-call, ensuring instrumentation to expose faults before client reports are made.

Nice to Have

  • Experience running services against contractual uptime commitments, including SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets.
  • Experience with Kafka in production, including diagnosis of consumer lag or rebalance issues.
  • Proficiency in managing infrastructure as code with Terraform.

Benefits

  • Visa costs including one-month paid hotel stay on arrival.
