• Helping ensure engineering efforts are aligned with business priorities and product goals

Requirements

• 8+ years of hands-on Java development experience
• Strong software architecture and system design skills
• Experience with distributed systems and messaging technologies (RabbitMQ, Kafka, or similar)
• Strong understanding of scalability, reliability, and performance optimization
• Solid SQL and database design experience
• Experience using AI agents and AI-assisted development tools in the coding process (e.g. Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini)
• Ability to work independently and make strategic technical decisions
• Experience conducting code reviews and mentoring engineers
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Strong spoken and written English

Nice to Have
