About the role

  • This role exists to bridge the gap between ambitious business goals and high-performance engineering reality.
  • You’ll help us scale our technical ecosystem by taking full ownership of architectural blueprints, governance standards, and the long-term stability of our distributed systems.
  • Define and evangelize technology principles that balance short-term delivery with long-term system vitality.
  • Architect distributed systems using Domain-Driven Design (DDD), CQRS, and Event-Driven Architecture (EDA).
  • Select and validate the right tools—from Kafka streams to NoSQL stores—to solve specific scale bottlenecks.
  • Design for failure by implementing patterns like Circuit Breaker, Bulkhead, and advanced Rate-limiting.
  • Establish governance frameworks that unblock developers rather than slowing them down with bureaucracy.
  • Optimize data strategies, including sharding, replication, and performance tuning for SQL/NoSQL databases under heavy load.
  • Build scalable infrastructure using Kubernetes, Docker, and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/Ansible).
  • Modernize CI/CD pipelines to ensure automated, secure, and rapid deployments.
  • Drive FinOps initiatives to ensure our cloud architecture is as cost-efficient as it is performant.
  • Unblock engineering teams by breaking down complex problems into clear, documented architectural blueprints.
  • Lead architecture reviews and mentor senior engineers to foster a culture of technical excellence.

Requirements

  • 5+ years in senior/lead engineering roles with a proven track record in Microservices, EDA, and DDD.
  • Deep understanding of CAP theorem, ACID properties, and implementing fault-tolerance patterns.
  • Hands-on mastery of AWS or Azure, including Kubernetes, Docker, and Terraform (IaC).
  • Expert-level SQL/NoSQL knowledge, including database sharding, replication, and query optimization.
  • Proficiency in Kafka (architecture, stream processing, and optimization for reliability).
  • Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field.
