About the role

  • Lead the software development strategy;
  • Maintain development standards and best practices;
  • Monitor the technical progress of development teams;
  • Act on problem solving, facilitating developers' day-to-day activities;
  • Serve as a technical reference point;
  • Track and advance engineering metrics;
  • Collaborate on the design and development of solutions for tools, focusing on security, performance, and observability;
  • Contribute to product operations and interactions once in production to ensure scalability, resilience, and consistency;
  • Ensure operation, product quality, and the health of related indicators (monitoring and creating alerts, participating in war rooms), and safeguard the product's technical evolution by guaranteeing correct design and implementation of initiatives;
  • Continuously provide ideas and proposals to enrich the initiative's roadmap;

Requirements

  • Advanced proficiency in Apache Kafka, including internal architecture (brokers, partitions, topics, ZooKeeper) and replication and fault-tolerance mechanisms.
  • Hands-on experience configuring and optimizing Kafka clusters for high availability and throughput.
  • Familiarity with Kafka Streams is desirable.
  • Deep expertise in JVM languages (Java, Scala, Kotlin), with the ability to tune the JVM for garbage collection optimization, heap memory management, and application profiling.
  • Experience with tools such as JMX, VisualVM, JFR (Java Flight Recorder), and thread dump analysis.
  • Advanced knowledge of design patterns and practical application of GoF patterns, including Singleton, Factory, Builder, Observer, Strategy, SAGA, among others.

  • Experience resolving latency issues, resource contention, and intermittent failures in high-load environments.
  • Experience designing and optimizing database schemas for both SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle) and NoSQL (MongoDB) databases.
  • Ability to implement sharding, replication, and tuning complex queries is a plus.
  • Knowledge of caching technologies (Redis, Memcached) for performance optimization.
  • Advanced technical experience in designing and implementing microservice architectures, including service lifecycle management, inter-service communication (REST, gRPC, event-driven), and observability and tracing mechanisms.
  • Ability to work with Service Mesh tools (Istio, Linkerd) and CI/CD pipelines for microservices.
  • Mastery of strategic DDD, with the ability to identify and define bounded contexts and establish ubiquitous language in collaboration with stakeholders.
  • Experience implementing context maps and integration strategies (Shared Kernel, Customer–Supplier, Anti-corruption Layer).
  • Ability to lead the architecture and design of technological solutions aligned with business objectives.
  • Experience defining technical and architectural roadmaps, ensuring system scalability and resilience over time.
  • Ability to anticipate and mitigate architectural and technical risks in large projects;
