Sr. Software Engineer

What You'll Do

• Design, develop, and evolve a robust, scalable, and secure licensing platform supporting entitlement management, compliance, telemetry, and reporting.

• Take ownership of critical platform components, ensuring availability, resilience, and performance under high-scale, production workloads.

• Collaborate with product managers, architects, and adjacent engineering teams to define, build, and ship new features and platform capabilities.

• Work hands-on with AI/ML technologies to embed intelligence into platform workflows — including RAG pipelines, agents, and vector database integrations.

• Write high-quality, testable code in Java and Groovy, following established engineering best practices.

• Develop and maintain API interfaces (REST and event-driven) used across internal systems and external integrations.

• Leverage cloud-native services (AWS or Azure) for platform scalability, observability, and deployment.

• Promote clean architecture, automation, and secure-by-default practices across the platform.

• Participate in and lead code reviews, design discussions, Agile ceremonies, and technical deep-dives.

• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning.

Required Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience in backend software engineering, with significant work on platform-level systems.

• Strong proficiency in Java and Groovy, including production-grade service development.

• Hands-on experience with AI/ML technologies, including:

• Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline
• AI agents / orchestration frameworks
• Vector databases (e.g., FAISS, Weaviate, Pinecone)
• Integration of foundation models (OpenAI, HuggingFace, AWS Bedrock, etc.)

• Experience designing and operating cloud-native platforms on AWS or Azure.

• Deep understanding of SQL and NoSQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, DynamoDB).

• Experience with automated testing frameworks (JUnit, Spock, TestNG) and CI/CD pipelines.

• Solid grasp of event-driven architectures, pub/sub systems (e.g., Kafka, SQS), and API design.

• Familiarity with authentication and authorization standards (OAuth2, OpenID, SAML).

• eStrong problem-solving and debugging skills in large-scale production systems.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Background in licensing, entitlement, billing, or subscription platforms.

• Understanding of observability tooling, service instrumentation, and platform monitoring.

• Experience with DevOps principles and infrastructure-as-code workflows.

• Exposure to data streaming, audit logging, and compliance reporting in distributed systems.

Why Join Us?

• Contribute to a mission-critical platform that directly enables product access, revenue, and compliance across global customers.

• Work at the intersection of AI, cloud, and cybersecurity, building the next generation of intelligent infrastructure.

• Be part of a high-trust, high-impact engineering culture focused on innovation, autonomy, and accountability.

• Solve complex backend and platform challenges at scale, with access to cutting-edge tools and support.
