Also, you will work on an empowered cross functional team with Product, Engineering, Design and DevOps to deliver on your team’s core mission.

Partnering with architecture and external development teams to design highly aligned services with clear separation of concerns, and participating in Pull/Merge Request reviews to ensure high quality are part of the role objectives.

You will advocate and optimize your team’s' applications for maximum speed, scale, security, and maintainability through best practices while mentoring and working closely with less experienced Engineers - if needed - to help them grow and deliver quality products.

You will need at least 7 years of in-depth experience in professional software development, with expertise in Software as a Service (SaaS), utilizing SQL, NoSQL, and In-memory stores at scale, and Agile development methodologies.

You must have a proven track record as a strong individual contributor — someone who leads by example through hands-on engineering, writes production-quality code, and raises the technical bar for those around them.

Beyond your immediate team, you will be expected to help shape and drive technical direction across the broader business unit, influencing architecture decisions, establishing best practices, and fostering engineering alignment across teams.

You must have led cross-functional development efforts in a Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) model, utilizing GitLab/GitHub and CI pipeline automation tools with a demonstrated high-level understanding and application of modern software design principles in the implementation of RESTful APIs, microservices architecture, and GraphQL services.

The technical stack might vary depending on the specific team or systems, but the primary technologies include the following:
