  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex system issues with a focus on performance, reliability, and maintainability.
  • Provide technical mentorship and guidance to engineers across the team.
  • Promote engineering best practices across design, code quality, testing, CI / CD, and observability.
  • Collaborate with product managers, designers, and other engineering teams to deliver end-to-end platform features.
  • Continuously evaluate and improve platform architecture, development workflows, and system performance.

What You Bring :

  • Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related field.
  • 8+ years of backend or platform engineering experience.
  • Strong programming skills in Java and familiarity with other modern backend languages (e.g., Python, GoLang).
  • Proven experience in building scalable, distributed systems and platform capabilities.
  • Understanding of system design, microservice architecture, and backend engineering best practices.
  • Experience working with or building data modelling and metadata systems.
  • Strong focus on developer experience and integration usability.
  • Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.
  • Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers and influence technical direction.
  • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Familiarity with Model Context Protocols (MCP) and agent-to-agent (A2A) communication patterns.
  • Experience with relational (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL) or graph databases.
  • Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Experience designing developer-facing APIs or SDKs.
  • Contributions to open-source projects or technical publications.
  • Understanding of CI / CD workflows and infrastructure automation tools.
  • webhooks, and model context protocols (MCP).
  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex system issues with a focus on performance, reliability, and maintainability.
  • Provide technical mentorship and guidance to engineers across the team.
  • Promote engineering best practices across design, code quality, testing, CI / CD, and observability.
  • Collaborate with product managers, designers, and other engineering teams to deliver end-to-end platform features.
