What you will do

• Own and evolve complex, business‑critical services end to end — from technical design and implementation through deployment, monitoring, and day‑to‑day production support.
• Apply modern engineering practices and use AI as a co‑pilot across the software development lifecycle to clarify requirements, explore designs, accelerate coding, strengthen automated testing, and improve operational excellence and reliability.
• Collaborate with partners across engineering, product, data, and business functions — contributing to cross‑team designs, surfacing trade‑offs clearly, and helping align simple, resilient solutions.
• Design and integrate services, APIs, and data models so that high‑quality data and capabilities are easily consumable by both human users and AI systems.
• Share knowledge and mentor others, especially earlier‑career engineers, through code reviews, pairing, and design discussions — including helping teammates use AI tools effectively and responsibly as part of their daily workflow.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field; or Equivalent related professional experience.
• 5+ years of relevant professional experience.
• Experience with owning service solutions, with demonstrated impact within a domain or product.
• Proven software development experience delivering and operating production services at scale, with ownership of at least one significant service or component within a product or domain.
• Proficiency in at least one modern programming language and strong computer science fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, object-oriented or functional design), with hands-on experience in system design (LLD), API design, and data modeling.
• Experience working with service-oriented or microservices architectures, including building, consuming, and evolving APIs, and using relational or non-relational databases and other data storage technologies.

Nice to have

• Experience designing and building reliable, scalable systems on cloud platforms, including contributing to service boundaries, resilience mechanisms, and operational best practices.
