Responsibilities

Advance eBay’s Java development environment (Raptor.io) by crafting and improving Spring Boot–based frameworks that power thousands of internal applications and critical site-facing traffic.
Increase developer efficiency and platform reliability by building, maintaining, and optimizing CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, Tekton) that enable fast, secure, and automated builds and deployments.
Develop and implement AI-powered tooling and solutions that streamline platform engineering workflows, reduce operational toil, and elevate the developer experience.
Improve release quality and predictability by coordinating cross-team release activities, managing dependencies, and aligning platform changes with the broader product roadmap.
Strengthen eBay’s container and infrastructure foundation by creating optimized Docker images, managing Kubernetes-based deployments, and ensuring environments (dev, staging, prod) are stable, observable, and performant.
Enhance platform security and compliance by driving continuous image patching, vulnerability scanning, secure handling of sensitive data, and clear documentation and guides that enable developers, QA, and operations teams to use the platform safely and effectively.
