📋 Description

• Identify and act on production problems without being prompted. • Build end-to-end, high-availability systems that handle extreme traffic spikes during high-demand on-sales without degradation. • Lead platform modernization initiatives - migrating legacy services to cloud-native, microservice-based architectures. • Design and implement streaming and event-driven solutions using Kafka/gRPC. • Champion resilience patterns: circuit breakers, graceful degradation, bulkheads, and auto-scaling strategies. • Collaborate with product, security, and SRE teams to align technical decisions with business priorities.

🎯 Requirements

• Proven ability to reason about distributed systems tradeoffs - scalability, consistency, availability, latency and make defensible design decisions under real constraints. • Proven experience writing production code and building high-traffic systems at scale. • Expertise in Java (17+); and the JVM, with strong command of JVM internals, garbage collection behavior, and performance tuning under load. • Hands-on experience with a reactive, non-blocking framework (Vert.x, Spring WebFlux, or equivalent) and asynchronous, event-driven service design. • Deep experience with stream processing and event-driven architecture - Kafka Streams, Apache Flink, or equivalent. • Proven track record building high-throughput, low-latency systems where tail latency, backpressure, and memory pressure are first-class design concerns. • Strong command of gRPC and binary serialization formats such as FlatBuffers, Avro, or Protobuf. • Familiarity with Data-Oriented Design (DoD) - structuring code around how data is laid out, accessed, and transformed for cache efficiency and throughput. • Experience with compact, search-oriented data structures.
