Responsibilities

Design and implement large-scale distributed backend systems using Java, Go, Scala, or similar high-performance languages.
Architect data partitioning, replication, and consistency strategies appropriate to workload requirements.
Build resilient APIs and event-driven services with observability, idempotency, and graceful-degradation patterns.
Optimize systems for latency, throughput, and cost using profiling, benchmarking, and load testing.
Lead architecture reviews, technical design discussions, and trade-off analyses.
Implement failure-handling patterns such as retries, timeouts, circuit breakers, bulkheads, and saga workflows.
Design and operate data stores at scale, including relational, key-value, document, and search engines.
Build comprehensive service observability using structured logs, metrics, and distributed tracing.
Drive incident response and post-incident learning for critical backend services.
Mentor mid-level engineers and set an example in code quality, design, and operational rigor.
Partner with SRE and platform teams to improve reliability and reduce operational toil.
Contribute to long-term architecture and platform strategy, help shape multi-year technical roadmaps, and align near-term execution with broader engineering direction.
Maintain current technical documentation, including architecture diagrams, design decisions, configuration references, runbooks, and operational procedures.
