● Maintain and improve system performance, scalability, and reliability across APIs and infrastructure using Java, Kafka, Postgres, and AWS technologies 

● Establish and evolve shared engineering standards through code reviews, documentation, and architectural discussions, influencing patterns used across backend development

● Mentor and support other engineers through pairing, feedback, and knowledge sharing, helping grow individual capability and the overall health of the codebase


QUALIFICATIONS:

● Significant experience building and operating large-scale backend systems in a production environment 

● Genuine excitement when it comes to working with partners and building relationships with developers

● Deep expertise in API design and development, including RESTful services and relational databases such as Postgres 

● Experience working with event-driven or asynchronous systems such as Kafka or SQS 

● Proven ability to design systems for scalability, reliability, and performance 

● Experience writing well-tested, maintainable code with clear documentation 

● Strong collaboration and communication skills, with experience working cross-functionally 

● Growth mindset with a desire to learn, iterate, and improve in a complex and evolving environment 

● Bonus: Experience working full-stack (for example, Swift or Kotlin), or building shared services used across multiple product areas
