As a Staff Engineer, you will define backend architecture for SaaS solutions, guide engineering best practices, and work closely with cloud, platform, UI, and data teams. You will remain highly hands-on while influencing technical strategy, enabling rapid, reliable delivery through modern DevOps, CI/CD, and cloud-native practices. Exposure to Python, AI/ML, and GenAI-driven development is a strong plus.Job Description
Key Responsibilities
- Architect, design, and develop cloud‑native, multi‑tenant SaaS backend services using Java and the Spring ecosystem.
- Define and evolve scalable, secure, and high‑performance system architectures for distributed, multi-tenant platforms.
- Design and implement microservices-based architectures, ensuring loose coupling, resiliency, and scalability.
- Build SaaS capabilities such as tenant isolation, configuration management, feature flags, and role-based access control.
- Develop and maintain RESTful and event-driven services integrated with UI, data, and platform layers.
- Leverage containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes) to deploy and scale services in cloud environments.
- Collaborate with cloud and DevOps teams to implement CI/CD pipelines for build, test, security scan, and deployment.
- Apply Test-Driven Development (TDD) and test automation to ensure high code quality and system reliability.
- Design systems with strong emphasis on security, observability, performance, and fault tolerance.
- Use Python to build lightweight microservices, automation scripts, or rapid prototypes where appropriate.
- Explore and apply AI/ML, GenAI, and LLM-based solutions to improve platform capabilities and engineering productivity.
- Mentor engineers, conduct design and code reviews, and drive backend engineering standards across teams.
- Partner closely with product management and architecture teams to align technical solutions with business goals.
Must-Have Skills & Qualifications
- 10–12 years of software engineering experience, with significant hands-on work in backend and distributed systems.
- Strong proficiency in Java and Spring (Spring Boot, Spring Cloud).
