Chennai, India Foodhub Full time

Senior Manager | Platform Engineering & API Ecosystems

Why This Role Matters

At Foodhub, every order and payment flows through our Order & Transaction Platform. It’s a high-throughput backbone moving millions of requests daily — where reliability, speed, and financial accuracy cannot be compromised. We are continuously evolving this core into a cloud-native, event-driven, AI-ready platform that scales globally.

This role is about shaping that platform: part architect, part hands-on engineer, part mentor. You’ll be building systems that define what “real-time commerce at scale” looks like.

What You’ll Drive

Architecture & Platform Evolution

Design and scale event-driven microservices that power ordering, payments, reconciliation, and partner integrations.

Implement CQRS, event sourcing, and ledger-based models for auditability and financial correctness.

Build a modern API ecosystem — REST, GraphQL, gRPC — with schema governance and backward compatibility.

Create real-time data and event streams to power fraud detection, recommendations, and operational analytics.

Performance & Reliability at Scale

Ensure five-nines reliability for high-volume order and transaction systems.

Solve concurrency, partitioning, and eventual consistency challenges across distributed services.

Deploy fault-tolerance strategies — circuit breakers, idempotency, backpressure handling — to protect systems under extreme load.

Advance SRE practices with chaos engineering, observability-first design, and automated failover.

Leadership & Mentorship

Lead globally distributed teams of platform engineers.

Balance 50–60% IC work (coding, design reviews, prototyping) with strategic leadership.

Create a culture of ownership, resilience, and continuous learning.

Act as a technical mentor for engineers across the company, raising the bar in distributed system design.

Must-Have Skills

10+ years in backend/platform engineering with leadership in transaction-heavy platforms.

Deep expertise in distributed systems: ordering, payments, reconciliation, data integrity.

Hands-on mastery of Node.js/TypeScript in cloud-native and serverless-first architectures.

Proven experience running systems at high scale and high reliability (millions of daily transactions).

A “player-coach” mindset: comfortable diving into production issues, leading design sessions, and mentoring teams.

Desirable Experience

Languages & Frameworks: TypeScript, Node.js, Express.js, NestJS

Cloud & Data: AWS (Lambda, DynamoDB, RDS), PostgreSQL, Redis

Event Streaming: Kafka, Pulsar, Kinesis — designing high-throughput, low-latency pipelines

Architecture Patterns: Microservices, event-driven systems, CQRS, event sourcing, domain-driven design

APIs: REST, GraphQL, gRPC with schema-first governance and strong versioning discipline

Platform & Ops: k8s (EKS or equivalent), service mesh, distributed tracing, full observability stacks

AI Readiness: Building real-time fraud detection signals, anomaly detection, recommendation feeds

Domain Knowledge: High-scale commerce, payments, or financial transaction platforms

Certifications (Preferred)

- AWS Certification
- HashiCorp Certification

Additional Qualities

- Ability to adapt and thrive in a fast-changing, highly collaborative Agile environment.
- Strong aptitude for learning new languages and frameworks.
- Solid experience in supporting applications, ensuring stability, and improving operational performance.
