Job Description Design and deliver robust, production-grade & data-intensive applications that power business-critical use cases around the globe. In this role, you will operate across domains - owning architecture, raising engineering standards, and amplifying the impact of your team and the surrounding teams. Your responsibility spans backend services, cloud-native infrastructure, and data engineering, with a focus on building scalable, reliable, and maintainable systems. A key success factor in this role is not only technical expertise, but to be able to understand & translate complex business requirements into scalable systems. The expectation is that you identify problems and opportunities, design solutions for them and implement them together with the team. Qualifications • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent; Master’s degree preferred. Additional Information Roles & Responsibility: • Design and own end-to-end architectures across microservices, event-driven systems, and data platforms. • Build and deliver high-quality backend services and APIs that are reliable, secure, and scalable. • Design and operate cloud-native infrastructure on Kubernetes, applying platform engineering best practices. • Build and maintain data pipelines and products on Spark and Databricks where required. • Drive event-driven architecture using Kafka and streaming technologies. • Write clean, testable, and maintainable software — primarily in Scala with Python where appropriate. • Lead architecture and design reviews; author lightweight design documents for major decisions. • Define and improve engineering standards across testing, observability, CI/CD, and reliability. • Coach and mentor engineers at multiple levels through reviews, design sessions, and pairing. • Build observability into systems from day one (logs, metrics, tracing, alerting, SLOs). • Deliver through CI/CD with safe release, rollback, and progressive delivery strategies. Skills • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience across backend, platform and or data domains. • Strong programming skills in Scala or Java (Scala preferred); other languages are a plus. • Proven experience building distributed microservices and event-driven systems ideally in the Scala / JVM ecosystem (we use KStreams, Flink, cats-effect, fs2 & tapir) • Hands-on experience with Kafka in production at scale. • Solid experience designing and developing APIs (REST and/or event-driven interfaces). • Strong knowledge of relational databases (e.g. PostgreSQL), data modeling, and query optimization. • Experience building distributed data pipelines with Spark and/or Databricks. • Demonstrated ability to lead technical design and architecture decisions across teams. • Experience mentoring and growing engineers. Good To Have: • Working knowledge of Kubernetes — workloads, networking, Helm, scaling, and operational practices. • Experience with data governance, lakehouse table formats (Delta, Iceberg), and modern data platforms. • Experience with platform engineering — building developer platforms, golden paths, or internal tooling. • Performance profiling and JVM tuning experience. • Experience with MLOps or data science platform integrations. Collaboration Scope: • Partner with domain and platform teams to translate complex requirements into resilient architectures. • Work with technical & org leadership to shape cross-team technical strategy. • Drive alignment on engineering standards and practices across engineering chapters or guilds. • Support incident response, post-mortems, and systemic reliability improvements. • Contribute to roadmaps that balance business priorities with technical sustainability and platform health.
