Drives architecture and design reviews, defining service boundaries, API contracts, data models, and integration patterns.
Develops secure, high-quality, production-grade code; conducts thorough code reviews; sets and enforces engineering standards.
Builds and maintains highly available and scalable services with strong operational excellence: reliability, performance, cost awareness, and maintainability.
Implements and governs authentication/authorization using OIDC/OAuth2, token validation, scopes/claims, and service-to-service security patterns.
Establishes robust observability practices (structured logging, metrics, tracing), incident response readiness (runbooks).
Evaluates vendor and internal solutions (including architectural fit, security posture, scalability, and operability) and guides adoption decisions.
Partners with Product and UX to deliver outcomes; translates requirements into technical plans and milestones; proactively manages trade-offs.
Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills
Minimum 8 years applied full stack engineering experience delivering and
operating production systems; experience as a senior/lead capacity (technical
leadership, design ownership).
React expertise: modern React patterns, TypeScript, state management,
component design systems, performance optimization, and responsive UI
development.
Java Spring Boot expertise: building APIs, dependency injection, validation,
error handling, and performance tuning.
GraphQL proficiency: schema design, resolvers, federation/composition
patterns (where applicable), query performance (N+1 mitigation, caching), and
API governance/versioning strategy.
REST proficiency: OpenAPI-style contract design, pagination/filtering,
idempotency, backward compatibility, and consumer-driven API evolution.
OIDC/OAuth2: hands-on implementation with JWTs, refresh/access token
flows, scopes/claims, secure session patterns, and least-privilege access
control.
AWS experience (hands-on): designing, deploying, and operating cloud-native
applications; strong understanding of IAM, networking basics, and operational
tooling (logs/metrics/alarms).
Data layer expertise:
o AWS Aurora PostgreSQL: advanced SQL, indexing, query
optimization, migrations, and transactional design.
o AWS Neptune: gremlin, graph modeling, query patterns, and
performance considerations for graph workloads.
Event-driven systems:
o AWS Kafka (MSK): topics/partitions, consumer groups, schema
evolution, ordering/at-least-once semantics, idempotency,
retries/DLQs, and operational monitoring.
CI/CD and quality:
o Strong Git practices, automated testing (unit/integration/contract/e2e),
code quality gates, and release confidence practices (feature flags,
progressive rollout where applicable).
AI-assisted engineering (MUST):
o Demonstrated proficiency using Claude Code and/or GitHub Copilot
to accelerate development, debugging, refactoring, test generation,
and documentation while ensuring correctness, security, and
maintainability (e.g., validating outputs, avoiding sensitive data
leakage, and adhering to team standards).
Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills
Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/CloudFormation/CDK) and deployment
automation patterns.
Containerization and orchestration experience (Docker, ECS/EKS) depending
on platform direction.
Advanced security practices: threat modeling, OWASP Top 10 mitigation,
secrets management, dependency hygiene.
Experience defining platform standards: API governance, event contracts,
service templates, and reliability SLOs/SLIs.
Prior experience integrating with Oracle HCM.
