📋 Description

• Lead the design and implementation of architecture evolution, targeting significant improvement in data processing throughput and scalability. • Identify and resolve bottlenecks across the current data pipeline (ElasticSearch, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, Redis) through rigorous profiling, benchmarking, and architectural analysis. • Evaluate and recommend infrastructure and messaging technologies, alternative graph databases, CQRS/event sourcing patterns, and validate them through hands-on prototyping. • Define and enforce cross-product standards for inter-service communication, data consistency, and system observability. • Build performance testing infrastructure from the ground up — establishing continuous performance monitoring as a first-class engineering practice across the XTM Suite. • Collaborate with product engineering teams (~60 engineers) to roll out architectural changes progressively and safely, with zero-downtime migrations where possible. • Contribute to the XTM Foundation team's broader mission: shared libraries, common patterns, and platform-level tooling that raise the bar for all product teams. • Stay current with the distributed systems and data engineering landscape, bringing well-evaluated proposals to the team.

🎯 Requirements

• 8–12 years of experience building and operating distributed, high-throughput systems in production environments. • Proven track record designing architectures for data-intensive platforms (data pipelines, event-driven systems, graph databases, or equivalent). • Deep understanding of distributed systems fundamentals: consistency models, partitioning, replication, backpressure, fault tolerance, and observability. • Broad knowledge of backend languages and ecosystems — you've worked with multiple languages and paradigms, and you know how to pick the right tool for the job. • Deep familiarity with data storage and messaging technologies — you have hands-on experience with a range of databases (relational, search, graph, columnar) and message brokers, and you understand the trade-offs between them. • Ability to build performance benchmarks from scratch and translate results into clear architectural decisions. • Excellent system design and written communication skills — you can turn complex tradeoffs into actionable proposals that engineers and leadership can act on. • Comfortable working in a remote-first, async culture with teams across multiple time zones; clear communicator in English. • Autonomy and ownership mindset: you drive problems to resolution without waiting for direction, and you enable others rather than becoming a bottleneck.

🏖️ Benefits
