  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including frontend engineers, to deliver seamless end-to-end product experiences.
  • Leverage AI-assisted development tools and practices to accelerate coding, testing, debugging, documentation, and code reviews while maintaining high standards of quality and security.
  • Drive observability, reliability, automation, and operational excellence across services, including monitoring, incident response, troubleshooting, and performance optimization.
  • Participate in architecture discussions, technical design reviews, and engineering best-practice initiatives.
  • Support production systems through on-call participation, incident management, and continuous service improvements.
  • Mentor and support engineers through code reviews, technical guidance, and knowledge-sharing activities.

What you'll bring:

  • Strong expertise in Java and Spring Boot development.
  • Strong expertise in Infrastructure as Code (IaC), with hands-on experience using Salt and Terraform.
  • Experience designing and building cloud-native backend systems using RESTful APIs, microservices, Docker, Kubernetes, and related container orchestration technologies.
  • Strong understanding of distributed systems, scalability, performance, reliability, and secure software design principles.
  • Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS.
  • Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and modern DevOps practices.
  • Experience using AI-powered development tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Windsurf, Kiro, or similar platforms.
  • Ability to critically evaluate, validate, and improve AI-generated code while maintaining quality, security, and maintainability standards.
  • Interest in continuously learning and applying emerging AI-assisted development practices.
  • Excellent problem-solving, debugging, and analytical skills.
