• Collaborate with product, design, and engineering teams to translate business goals into technical solutions
• Evaluate and introduce technologies based on project needs—not personal preferences
• Champion engineering excellence, including clean code, reusable design patterns, and robust APIs
• Conduct technical design and code reviews, mentor developers, and drive continuous improvement
• Communicate effectively across engineering and non-engineering stakeholders, breaking down complex ideas simply

Required Skills

• 6+ years of backend development experience with strong system-level thinking
• Proven track record in system design, architecture decisions, and design trade-offs
• Strong understanding of performance tuning, distributed systems, data modeling, and API design
• Experience working across multiple tech stacks or programming languages
• Ability to quickly adapt to any backend framework, language, or ecosystem
• Deep experience with AWS and cloud-native architecture principles (e.g., stateless services, managed databases, autoscaling, serverless)
• Proficiency in DevOps, CI/CD pipelines, containerization (e.g., Docker, ECS/EKS)
• Experience optimizing systems for throughput, latency, and scalability at production scale
• Familiarity with Spring Boot is a strong plus
