• Dive deep into our current monolithic architecture, identify pain points, and design innovative solutions to address them in an iterative way.
• Lead the design and development of a new microservices architecture that supports scalability, maintainability, and operational excellence.
• Collaborate with departments and teams to evaluate and implement the right tools, frameworks, and methodologies for building a robust microservices ecosystem.
• Write high-quality, production-ready code (primarily in Java) in a hands-on capacity.
• Guide and mentor other engineers, contribute to their professional growth, share best practices and architectural insights, and foster a culture of engineering excellence, collaboration, and innovation.
• Partner with other engineering organizations and teams across the globe, with product, design, quality, DevOps/Infra teams and leadership to align on objectives, design, timelines, and execution strategies.
