  • Lead the design and optimization of microservices, RESTful APIs, and distributed systems for performance, resiliency, and scalability
  • Collaborate with product managers, UX designers, and cross-functional teams to ensure alignment of technical solutions with business needs
  • Oversee code quality through reviews, testing, performance tuning, and CI/CD practices
  • Mentor and guide software engineers, fostering a culture of innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement
  • Actively participate in system design reviews, architecture discussions, and capacity planning
  • Stay current with emerging technologies and drive the adoption of tools and practices that enhance productivity and system performance.
  • Strong experience with Java, Spring Boot, and React / Next.js / TypeScript in production systems
  • Deep understanding of system design principles, distributed systems, microservices architecture, and cloud-native patterns
  • Experience integrating with event-driven architectures using Kafka, Solace, or similar
  • Strong knowledge of API security, identity management, and performance tuning
  • Exposure to relational (MySQL) and NoSQL (Couchbase, MongoDB, etc.) databases
  • Comfort working in Agile environments, collaborating across teams, and influencing stakeholders
  • Ability to balance hands-on development with architectural decision-making.

Key Responsibilities

  • 8+ years of full stack development experience with emphasis on Java, Spring Boot, and React/Next.js
  • 4+ years designing distributed, event-driven systems
  • Hands-on experience working in cloud environments (Azure, AWS, or GCP)
  • Proficiency with microservices, REST APIs, message queues, and streaming technologies
  • Experience with Micro Frontends, Headless Commerce platforms, or API gateways
  • Passion for clean code, system optimization, and simplifying complex problems
