About the role

  • Architect, implement, and maintain Surgimate’s cloud-native platform, ensuring reliability, scalability, and operational excellence.
  • Define, evolve, and personally implement system boundaries, service interactions, communication patterns, and integration architectures (microservices, event-driven, API-based).
  • Design for resilience using proven architectural patterns (e.g., DDD concepts, messaging patterns, caching, HA/failover strategies).
  • Produce high-quality architecture diagrams and system documentation that accurately reflect implemented, running systems, not just conceptual designs.
  • Work with Cloud Infrastructure team to design AWS architecture across services including ECS, Lambda, API Gateway, VPC, RDS, S3, IAM, and related components.
  • Work with Cloud Infrastructure team to implement and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation) and ensure repeatable, auditable environments.
  • Drive cost optimization, security hardening, networking design, and environment reliability.
  • Design, implement, maintain, and optimize CI/CD pipelines for automated testing, security scanning, deployments, and rollbacks.
  • Implement and maintain observability strategies across logging, metrics, and tracing using APM tooling (e.g., Datadog, New Relic, OpenTelemetry, etc.).
  • Contribute to production readiness reviews, release planning, and deployment processes with full access and trust.
  • Design and build scalable data models and storage strategies, including partitioning, replication, and caching.
  • Architect and implement message-based communication using brokers such as SQS, RabbitMQ, or Kafka.
  • Build and maintain API services, integration patterns, and reliable event-driven workflows in production.
  • Support AI integration efforts including model hosting patterns, inference architecture, and vector-based search through hands-on prototyping and implementation.
  • Contribute to the evaluation and adoption of AI-driven tools and modern development workflows.
  • Act as a GitHub maintainer: review code, enforce architectural standards, and ensure consistency across repositories.
  • Provide technical guidance and architectural insight without formal management responsibility.
  • Drive consensus through clear communication, structured decision-making, and logical tradeoff analysis.
  • Influence engineering culture by modeling professionalism, openness, and a calm, systems-thinking approach under pressure.
  • Contribute code, prototypes, and infrastructure tooling, primarily in **Python and Java**, with hands-on involvement in services and pipelines.
  • Investigate and resolve complex production issues across distributed systems and cloud environments.

Requirements

  • ~5+ years of professional software engineering experience, including significant architectural responsibilities.
  • Expert-level understanding of **AWS** (ECS, Lambda, networking, IAM, API Gateway, scaling strategies).
  • Strong experience with **CI/CD pipelines**, containerization, infrastructure-as-code, and automated deployments.
  • Proficiency in **Python** for systems, services, and tooling development.
  • Deep knowledge of **microservice architecture**, distributed systems, and message brokers (e.g., SQS, Kafka, RabbitMQ).
  • Experience designing for scalability, reliability, resilience, and cost efficiency.
  • Hands-on experience with **APM tooling** (e.g., New Relic, Datadog, OpenTelemetry, etc.).
  • Strong understanding of API design, integration patterns, and operational best practices.
  • Proven ability to create effective diagrams, architecture maps, and system documentation.
  • Comfortable with GitHub maintainership, code review, repository ownership, and release processes.
  • Ability to work independently with high trust, full-production-access responsibilities, and strong ethics.
  • Excellent communication skills and a behavioral orientation toward collaboration, clarity, maturity, and open-mindedness.
Benefits
  • Mandatory pension and severance
  • 18 vacation days
  • Study fund (Keren Hishtalmut)
  • Lunch Stipend ( Cibus)
  • Flexible or hybrid work options
