Requirements
- 10+ Years of Delivery: A real history of taking complex software from concept to production — not just contribution, but ownership
- Technical Depth: Expert-level fluency in Python, Java, or equivalent, plus strong command of modern web technologies (TypeScript/JavaScript, React or similar, HTML/CSS)
- Architectural Experience: Deep comfort designing scalable, distributed systems and microservices — you know where the bodies are buried in these architectures
- Leadership Track Record: Experience leading technical teams, guiding engineers through SDLC phases, and leaving codebases and people better than you found them
- Integration Know-How: Hands-on experience with API design, event-driven architectures, and message brokers in complex, integrated environments
- Cloud & DevOps Fluency: Practical experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP; containerization with Docker/Kubernetes; and CI/CD pipeline ownership
- Communication That Lands: Strong written and verbal communication — you can make complex technical ideas accessible without dumbing them down
- Quality Commitment: A genuine standard for code quality, testing, and documentation — not just lip service
Nice To Haves
- Familiarity with real-time streaming technologies — Apache Kafka, Pulsar, or Solace PubSub+
- Experience with high-availability architectures, performance optimization, or distributed systems at scale
- Grounding in enterprise integration patterns and middleware
- Exposure to domain-driven design (DDD) and how to apply it pragmatically
- Track record of influencing technical direction without direct authority — across teams or orgs
Responsibilities
- Architect for Scale: Design and implement robust, maintainable architectures for agentic AI applications — with clean separation of concerns and a long view on system health
- Own Delivery End-to-End: Drive complex features and initiatives through every SDLC phase, from requirements to production, with a bias toward execution
- Build Production-Grade Software: Develop high-quality backend services and web frontends using modern JavaScript frameworks, with consistent attention to reliability, performance, and user experience
- Lead Technically: Mentor engineers, conduct meaningful code reviews, establish best practices, and be a trusted voice in architectural decisions
- Bridge Product and Engineering: Collaborate with PMs, designers, and stakeholders to shape technically sound, deliverable solutions — not just translate requirements
- Raise the Quality Bar: Champion testing strategies, CI/CD, and observability practices that keep systems healthy as they grow
- Stay Sharp: Actively track emerging technologies and bring relevant ideas back to improve the platform and team practices
