Design, develop, and evolve a robust, scalable, and secure licensing platform supporting entitlement management, compliance, telemetry, and reporting. Take ownership of critical platform components, ensuring availability, resilience, and performance under high-scale, production workloads. Collaborate with product managers, architects, and adjacent engineering teams to define, build, and ship new features and platform capabilities. Work hands-on with AI/ML technologies to embed intelligence into platform workflows — including RAG pipelines, agents, and vector database integrations. Write high-quality, testable code in Java and Groovy, following established engineering best practices. Develop and maintain API interfaces (REST and event-driven) used across internal systems and external integrations. Leverage cloud-native services (AWS or Azure) for platform scalability, observability, and deployment. Promote clean architecture, automation, and secure-by-default practices across the platform. Participate in and lead code reviews, design discussions, Agile ceremonies, and technical deep-dives. Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning.
