We are building a next-generation retail edge platform that connects thousands of stores with cloud services — powering low-latency order orchestration, data synchronization, and in-store applications across a distributed ecosystem. As a Lead Engineer, you will serve as a key technical leader responsible for architecting, implementing, and guiding the evolution of our platform infrastructure and services across cloud (AWS) and edge compute environments. You’ll work hands-on with engineers while setting the technical direction, promoting secure and scalable design practices, and ensuring operational excellence across all components — from microservices to edge clusters. This role combines deep technical expertise, system-level thinking, and mentorship to help scale a high-performing engineering organization and deliver business-critical outcomes.

  • Technical Leadership & Architecture
  • Architect, design, and implement scalable, secure, and compliant platform services across AWS and distributed edge environments.
  • Define technical roadmaps and system boundaries, ensuring reliability, resilience, and cost-efficiency across thousands of store nodes.
  • Translate complex technical concepts into clear, actionable insights for executive, business, and cross-functional audiences.
  • Lead architectural reviews, enforce best practices, and champion standards for security, observability, and maintainability.
  • Partner with product and platform teams to ensure technical alignment with business and operational goals.
  • Hands-On Engineering
  • Design and develop backend services, infrastructure tooling, and automation frameworks primarily in Go (Golang).
  • Build and evolve cloud-native microservices on AWS using ECS/EKS, EC2, S3, RDS, IAM, and CloudFormation/Terraform.
  • Implement Kubernetes-based orchestration and deployment pipelines optimized for edge and cloud environments.
  • Establish robust observability and tracing frameworks (OTEL, Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog) for proactive detection and insights.
  • Conduct code reviews, debugging, and performance analysis, driving continuous improvement in code quality and stability.
  • Security, Compliance & Reliability
  • Ensure adherence to secure coding practices, encryption standards, and IAM principles.
  • Collaborate with security teams to implement vulnerability management, incident response, and compliance controls.
  • Apply DevSecOps and GitOps principles to automate and govern deployments.
  • Expert level proficiency in Golang for backend and infrastructure tooling
  • Deep experience with AWS services — EC2, ECS/EKS, S3, IAM, RDS, CloudFormation/Terraform, Secrets Manager, and Security Hub.
  • Strong hands-on knowledge of Kubernetes, including cluster lifecycle, deployments, and service management.
  • Proficient with logging, metrics, and tracing using Datadog, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and Grafana.
  • Understanding of VPC design, load balancing, DNS, API gateways, and service meshes (e.g., Istio or Linkerd).
  • Working knowledge of IAM, encryption, secure API design, vulnerability scanning, and compliance frameworks.
  • Experience with GitOps pipelines, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and automated build/deploy workflows (e.g., ArgoCD, Jenkins, GitHub Actions).
  • Leadership & Collaboration: 7–10 years of professional software development and infrastructure experience, with 2–3 years in technical leadership or lead engineer capacity.
  • Experience building or operating edge compute or retail store platforms (POS, kiosks, or IoT).
  • Familiarity with NATS, Kafka, or Ditto for real-time messaging and synchronization.
  • Exposure to multi-region architectures, cost optimization, and distributed data design.
  • Experience with SpectroCloud, ArgoCD, or K3s-based edge deployments.
  • C# experience will be a plus (legacy code is written in .NET)
  • Medical, dental & vision
  • 401(k)/Roth
  • Insurance (Basic/Supplemental Life & AD&D)
  • Short and long-term disability
  • Health and Dependent Care Spending Accounts (HAS & DCFSA)
  • Transportation benefits
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • Time off/Leave (PTO, Vacation, or Sick Leave)
  • Critical Illness, Accident, and Hospital
  • 401(k) Retirement Plan – Pre-tax and Roth post-tax contributions available
  • Life Insurance (Voluntary Life & AD&D for the employee and dependents)
  • Health Spending Account (HSA)
