Executing complex feature development and automation efforts to accelerate product data delivery.
Monitoring workflows and identifying risks while troubleshooting and resolving performance bottlenecks.
Leading platform level testing, debugging, and automation efforts, including establishing new standards for monitoring and maintenance.
Developing fully attributed data models and tuning data management solutions for optimal performance at scale.
Ensuring all implementations meet defined “definition of done” criteria, including reliability, security, and deployment stability.
Supporting the long term operational health of high traffic, customer facing systems.

Strong expertise in Kotlin & Java, with hands-on experience using Spring or Micronaut frameworks
Proven experience delivering production-ready services in large-scale, high-traffic environments
Hands on experience with automated testing and CI/CD pipelines, including tools such as Kotest and Vela
Proficiency in system observability and debugging, using tools such as Grafana and Kibana
Experience developing, tuning, and maintaining data-intensive systems with performance and reliability requirements
Ability to independently execute complex engineering tasks in fast-paced, ambiguous environments

Preferred (Nice to Haves)

Experience with high-performance data stores such as Valkey, RocksDB, or similar technologies
Background supporting large-scale retail, ecommerce, or enterprise data platforms
Previous contract or consulting experience delivering rapid value within established engineering organizations
Strong understanding of operational excellence, including automation, monitoring, and incident prevention
