Your Impact

• Drive agile delivery, sprint outcomes, and end-to-end product engineering in collaboration with client and internal teams.
• Define and govern business epics, requirements, and non-functional aspects (performance, scalability, security, etc.).
• Lead technical design sessions, define solution architectures, and create system-level documentation.
• Optimize and make critical design decisions while balancing trade-offs at scale.
• Mentor SDE-II/I engineers, evangelize engineering best practices, and foster a culture of continuous improvement.
• Govern engineering metrics adoption, test-first/TDD/BDD practices, and technical debt reduction.
• Design and integrate enterprise-scale systems with emphasis on cloud, APIs, and distributed architectures.
• Proactively adopt and evangelize DevOps, automation-first mindset, and modern CI/CD practices.
• Lead reviews of system design, integration, performance, and scalability.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with recruitment, learning, and people teams to develop technical talent.

• Strong expertise with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), distributed caching (Redis, Memcache), and cloud-native design patterns.
• Experience with microservices, service mesh, sidecars, K8s orchestration, and reactive programming (Spring Reactor/RX Java, Akka, Play).
• Knowledge of API gateways, GraphQL, messaging platforms (Kafka, RabbitMQ, JMS), and distributed tracing/debugging tools.
• Expertise in secure coding practices, cryptography, authentication (OAuth, JWT, SAML), and compliance frameworks.
• Hands-on in DevOps, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation), and CI/CD pipeline setup.
• Proven experience building high-performance web applications (React, Angular, Vue, or similar).

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor’s/Master’s Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
• Experience with AI/ML-driven architectures, CEP, Event Sourcing, CQRS.
• Knowledge of performance testing tools (JMeter, Gatling), monitoring solutions (Splunk, ELK, Grafana).
• Exposure to search solutions like Elastic Search, SOLR, Endeca.
