About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Modernize and scale production platforms, including customer-data caching platforms serving 20–25+ applications at approximately 3,000 requests per second
  • Design, build and operate highly available, fault-tolerant distributed systems and caching platforms
  • Evaluate architecture and identify opportunities to scale toward 6x current traffic while maintaining performance and resiliency
  • Improve caching strategies, TTLs, refresh patterns, cache placement, performance and downstream dependency management
  • Evolve platforms toward active-active resiliency and validate failure, recovery and capacity scenarios
  • Design and implement automated CI/CD pipelines with rolling, blue/green or canary deployment strategies, automated checks and quality gates
  • Establish infrastructure, configuration, secrets and application deployment practices using an everything-as-code approach
  • Build performance and load-testing capabilities and performance gates for releases
  • Develop monitoring, alerting and observability for latency, throughput, availability, errors and reliability indicators
  • Define and improve SLIs, SLOs, error budgets and operational KPIs
  • Automate operational tasks through scripting, tooling and infrastructure automation
  • Troubleshoot production issues, perform root-cause analysis and lead blameless post-incident reviews
  • Provide technical guidance and engineering guardrails for SRE and development teams
  • Collaborate with Java/Spring Boot engineers, architects, client FTEs and other technical teams
  • Work independently, set technical direction and advance reliability improvements in small engineering teams

  • Hands-on AWS experience and familiarity with cloud-native architecture
  • Experience designing and implementing automated CI/CD pipelines and deployment strategies for highly available systems
  • Experience with infrastructure/configuration/secrets as code and automated, repeatable processes
  • Strong understanding of observability, monitoring, alerting, performance metrics and production troubleshooting
  • Experience with performance testing, capacity planning and identifying system bottlenecks
  • Strong programming or scripting experience for automation and tooling
  • Ability to work independently, take ownership of ambiguous technical problems and move work forward with limited direction
  • Ability to provide technical leadership and establish practical engineering standards and guardrails within a small team
  • Advanced English level required
  • Java/Spring Boot experience strongly preferred
  • Strongly preferred: GraphQL and API gateway architectures; Kubernetes and containerized applications; GitLab CI/CD; Terraform or other infrastructure-as-code tools; Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog or similar observability platforms; Kafka, Amazon MSK or other event-streaming technologies; active-active or multi-region architectures; enterprise customer-data platforms or high-volume caching systems
