Responsibilities

Be a Primary Individual Contributor

Own complex features end to end—from data modeling and service logic to API design and frontend integration.

Lead by Example in Code Quality and Design
Consistently model clean code practices, effective design patterns, and thoughtful system design in day-to-day work.
Set the technical bar through high-quality pull requests, tests, and documentation rather than mandates.
Drive improvements through refactoring and incremental architectural enhancements.
Pair, Coach, and Mentor Engineers
Dedicate time each week to pair programming, design reviews, and hands-on problem solving with other engineers.
Coach team members on Spring Boot, TypeScript, API design, and cloud architecture through real work—not abstract guidance.
Provide actionable feedback that helps engineers improve code quality, ownership, and confidence.
Own APIs and Frontend Integration
Design and maintain APIs using OpenAPI specifications, ensuring consistency and usability.
Actively work with frontend engineers to integrate APIs into Next.js applications, addressing performance, error handling, and UX considerations.
Guide API versioning and backward compatibility through practical implementation.
Drive Performance, Reliability, and Delivery
