Requirements
Key Responsibilities
Platform Architecture & DesignDrive, own, and execute multiple next-generation platform initiatives.
Ensure backend architectures are structurally designed for massive scale, extreme availability, and high performance using Java microservices and strict AI and API-first design principles.
Full-Stack Ecosystem SynchronizationAct as the technical design authority ensuring seamless data flow, state management, and consistency across Java backend services, React Web platforms, and Mobile/POS applications (Android & C++ kernels).
AI Development & EngineeringPersonally lead the hands-on prototyping, design, and integration of AI/ML utilities into core production pipelines (e.g., smart reconciliation engines, fraud pattern recognition, and transaction optimization).
Production SWAT & ObservabilityAct as the go-to responder for high-priority production incidents.
Personally drive down MTTR by debugging critical technical issues within a complex stack involving Spring Boot microservices, Docker containers, and AWS environments.
Best Practices & QualityReinforce XP practices such as Test-Driven Development (TDD), refactoring, and clean code.
Devise processes and mechanisms to ensure expected uptime and platform resilience.
Stakeholder CollaborationPartner closely with Product Management and clients to scope out releases, translate business goals into technical execution charts, and deliver high-quality outputs on predictable schedules without trading off quality for velocity.
Technical Skills and Experience

Strong preference for polyglot profiles who can adapt to multi-language requirements.
Cloud & OrchestrationStrong architecture and implementation experience with AWS services, Docker containerization, and Kubernetes for container orchestration (NLB/ALB, Ingress Controllers).
Data & Messaging SystemsExpertise in distributed system design using SQL & NoSQL databases (with advanced performance tuning), and messaging fabrics like RabbitMQ & NATS.
AI / ML PipelinePractical proficiency in integrating AI utilities, LLMs, or foundational frameworks into high-throughput backend infrastructure.
Observability & InfrastructureLive and breathe automation (CI/CD pipelines).
Practical experience deploying observability frameworks such as Prometheus and Grafana for logging, monitoring, and distributed tracing.
Client Aware CapabilitiesStrong baseline understanding of JavaScript frameworks (React) and Mobile development (Android/iOS) to govern full-stack technical interfaces.
Knowledge of C++ to read or trace low-level POS code is a distinct advantage.
