  • Drive the technical vision and roadmap by balancing immediate product requirements with long-term infrastructure investments and architectural health
  • Establish and enforce engineering best practices for code quality, design patterns, and automated CI/CD pipelines to ensure high-performance deployment
  • Architect and build robust pipelines for AI model training, versioning, and monitoring to optimize latency and throughput in real-time production environments
  • Proactively address technical debt and architectural risks by identifying and resolving performance bottlenecks in distributed microservices
  • Mentor and develop engineering talent through a collaborative leadership style that empowers team members and promotes a culture of technical excellence

Skills, Experience and Requirements

Core Skills and Competencies (What you'll bring)
  • Exceptional ability to articulate complex technical concepts and strategies to both engineering teams and non-technical stakeholders through clear, persuasive communication
  • Expert proficiency in major programming languages such as Python, Go, or Java, combined with deep software engineering fundamentals and design patterns
  • Critical experience in designing and implementing enterprise-wide solutions using distributed systems, microservices architecture, and cloud platforms like AWS or OCI
  • Advanced knowledge of relational and NoSQL databases, including practical experience in system design and query optimization for high-volume, real-time data
  • Deep understanding of real-time streaming technologies and complex orchestration systems, particularly in e-commerce, logistics, or high-scale transaction environments
  • Advanced AI literacy and application expertise used to translate research-level AI innovations into production-scale engineering solutions

Minimum Requirements
  • Minimum Education: Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or a related field
  • Minimum Experience: 8+ years of experience in the development and implementation of enterprise-wide Java-based solutions; 5+ years of experience with Microservices architecture
  • Required Technical Skills: Must have experience with:
    • Java Technologies (Java, J2EE, Spring Boot, Spring Cloud)
    • Real-time streaming and orchestration (Kafka, AWS Step Functions)
    • Distributed systems and cloud platforms (AWS, OCI, or Azure)
