  • Identify performance bottlenecks, operational inefficiencies, and technical debt, driving improvements that enhance customer experience and business outcomes.
  • Collaborate across engineering teams to drive consistency in engineering practices, service reliability, and development standards.
  • Support production operations, incident resolution, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement initiatives.

Qualifications:

  • 7-10 years of backend engineering experience with Java, Spring Boot, and microservices-based architectures.
  • Strong experience designing, building, and operating scalable distributed systems in a cloud-native environment.
  • Proven track record of delivering complex backend projects end-to-end, from technical design through production deployment and support.
  • Experience building high-volume, event-driven systems using messaging technologies such as Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar platforms.
  • Solid understanding of system design fundamentals, including scalability, reliability, fault tolerance, performance optimization, and observability.
  • Hands-on experience with RESTful APIs, relational and NoSQL databases, caching technologies, and asynchronous processing patterns.
  • Experience identifying and resolving performance bottlenecks, operational issues, and technical debt within large-scale production systems.
  • Strong debugging, problem-solving, and analytical skills with a focus on delivering reliable customer-facing solutions.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with engineering, product, operations, and business stakeholders to drive successful outcomes.
