• Skillset: Java with React, AI exposure.
• Experience range: 10 - 15 years

Responsibilities

• Lead the architecture, design, and hands-on development of scalable, resilient, secure, and highly available enterprise applications, with primary emphasis on backend services while contributing across the full technology stack.
• Own complex technical initiatives end-to-end, translating business problems into sound engineering solutions and driving them from architecture and proof-of-concept through implementation, deployment, production readiness, and continuous improvement.
• Drive engineering excellence through design and code reviews, automated testing, observability, performance engineering, CI/CD, production reliability, security, and disciplined software-development practices.
• Apply modern cloud, data, AI, and ML engineering concepts to build intelligent capabilities, while optimizing infrastructure utilization, cloud cost, model/API consumption, and AI token efficiency.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineers, influence architectural decisions across teams, collaborate with product and business partners, and help establish reusable patterns, standards, and engineering best practices.

Requirements

• Strong software engineering experience building large-scale, production-grade distributed applications, with deep hands-on expertise in backend development and the ability to work across the full stack.
• Strong proficiency in Java, Spring/Spring Boot, RESTful APIs, microservices, object-oriented design, data structures, algorithms, concurrency, design patterns, and distributed-system fundamentals.
• Experience with modern frontend technologies such as React, JavaScript/TypeScript and related web-development frameworks, with deeper expertise expected on backend technologies.
• Strong understanding of system design, including API design, data modeling, relational and NoSQL databases, caching, asynchronous/event-driven architectures, scalability, performance, resiliency, and disaster-recovery patterns.
• Experience designing and operating applications on public cloud platforms such as GCP or Azure, including containers and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.
• Experience implementing CI/CD, automated testing, observability, logging, monitoring, alerting, and production-support practices for enterprise applications.
• Understanding of cloud architecture and FinOps principles, with experience identifying opportunities to improve infrastructure utilization, application efficiency, performance, and cloud cost.
• Exposure to machine learning / MLE concepts, including the software and data engineering considerations involved in integrating, deploying, monitoring, and operating ML-powered capabilities.
• Exposure to Generative AI / LLM-based application development, including concepts such as prompt/context design, model/API integration, evaluation, responsible AI, latency/cost trade-offs, and token-consumption optimization.
• Ability to analyze complex technical problems, evaluate architectural trade-offs, and make pragmatic engineering decisions balancing scalability, reliability, security, maintainability, performance, and cost.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills with demonstrated ability to influence technical direction, mentor engineers, and work effectively across engineering, product, business, and platform teams.
• Curiosity and willingness to continuously evaluate and adopt emerging technologies where they provide measurable engineering or business value.
• Outlined below are the required minimum qualifications for this position. If none are listed, there are no minimum qualifications.
• Minimum Qualifications:Option 1: Bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering, computer information systems, software engineering, or related area and 4 years’ experience in software engineering or related area.Option 2: 6 years’ experience in software engineering or related area.
