Key Responsibilities
- Design and implement large-scale distributed backend systems using Java, Go, Scala, or similar high-performance languages.
- Architect data partitioning, replication, and consistency strategies appropriate to each workload’s requirements.
- Build resilient APIs and event-driven services with strong observability, idempotency, and graceful degradation patterns.
- Optimize systems for latency, throughput, and cost, using profiling, benchmarking, and load testing.
- Lead detailed architecture reviews, technical design discussions, and trade-off analyses.
- Implement robust failure-handling patterns including retries, timeouts, circuit breakers, bulkheads, and saga workflows.
- Design and operate data stores at scale, including relational, key-value, document, and search engines.
- Build comprehensive observability into services with structured logs, metrics, and distributed tracing.
- Drive incident response and post-incident learning for critical backend services.
- Mentor mid-level engineers and lead by example in code quality, design, and operational rigor.
- Partner with SRE and platform teams to drive reliability improvements and reduce operational toil.
- Contribute to long-term architecture and platform strategy, helping shape multi-year technical roadmaps and ensuring near-term execution remains aligned with the broader engineering direction.
- Maintain comprehensive, current technical documentation — including architecture diagrams, design decisions, configuration references, runbooks, and operational procedures — so that the system remains supportable, auditable, and easy to onboard new engineers onto over time.
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related discipline.
- Six or more years of professional backend engineering experience, with significant time on distributed systems.
- Strong programming skills in Java, Go, Scala, or similar.
- Deep understanding of distributed systems concepts, including consensus, replication, and CAP trade-offs.
- Hands-on experience with high-throughput message systems such as Kafka.
- Experience operating systems at scale, including capacity planning and performance tuning.
- Strong SQL skills and experience with both relational and NoSQL data stores.
- Hands-on experience with major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
- Strong debugging and root-cause analysis skills.
- Excellent communication, documentation, and mentorship skills.
- Experience leading complex technical initiatives across multiple teams.
- Hands-on experience with Kubernetes-based platforms in production.
- Exposure to service-mesh technologies (Istio, Linkerd).
- Familiarity with chaos engineering practices and tools.
- Open-source contributions to relevant distributed systems projects.
