Full Job Posting
What you will do
- Lead the design and implementation of full-stack platform capabilities, including domain models, backend services, APIs, and operational user interfaces.
- Use domain-driven design to identify bounded contexts, define clear ownership, and keep business rules separate from infrastructure concerns.
- Design APIs with clear contracts, consistent resource models, predictable error handling, idempotency, versioning, and backward compatibility
- Design multi-tenant capabilities with explicit boundaries for data, identity, configuration, workloads, and resource consumption.
- Address tenant isolation, authorization, noisy-neighbor risks, quotas, tenant-aware observability, and safe tenant onboarding and migration.
- Build distributed and event-driven systems that account for concurrency, ordering, consistency, retries, backpressure, partial failure, and delivery semantics.
- Create processing and visualization components for real-time operational analysis.
- Build accessible, responsive, and performant interfaces for operators and internal platform users.
- Own services through production, including instrumentation, service-level objectives, capacity planning, incident response, and remediation.
- Define an appropriate testing strategy across unit, integration, API contract, end-to-end, performance, and resilience testing.
- Improve build, test, deployment, and release tooling through the continuous integration and delivery pipeline.
- Use and improve large language model assisted development workflows to accelerate implementation, testing, debugging, documentation, and technical analysis while maintaining engineering, security, and review standards.
- Evaluate technology choices based on reliability, security, maintainability, developer productivity, and lifecycle cost.
- Write technical proposals and clearly explain architectural decisions, constraints, and trade-offs.
- Mentor engineers through design reviews, code reviews, pairing, and technical guidance.
- Work with product, operations, security, and engineering partners to turn business requirements into deliverable technical outcomes.
- Take ownership of complex work and drive it to completion when requirements are incomplete or evolving.
