You will own the technical direction of our Java stack define best practices and architectural patterns and help the team scale its impact as traffic complexity and business demands grow.
This is a hands-on coding and architecture role: you will regularly design and implement key components yourself review critical code paths and guide engineers through complex technical decisions rather than working only at a high level.
A core part of this role is to leverage the modern Java ecosystem from the JVM and tooling to observability and CI/CD to automate and standardize how we ship backend and platform services.
You will work side by side with product engineers platform teams and architects to make our developer experience fast safe and efficient and you will deeply influence how every Java service and platform component is designed implemented tested deployed and operated in production.

Platform Engineering: Design build and maintain core platform components mainly in Java enabling product teams to ship quality code quickly and safely.
Architecture & Standards: Champion best practices standards and review and approve RFCs that impact how we deploy code company-wide. For example: Observability security and performance best practices.
Cloud & IaC: Provision and manage AWS resources with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform/CDK).
Mentorship & Leadership: Serve as technical referent for a multi-disciplinary platform team; coach engineers run architecture reviews and foster a culture of continuous improvement.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with Security and Infrastructure teams to align roadmaps manage technical debt and ensure platform capabilities meet business needs.
Continuous Improvement: Track industry trends evaluate new technologies and pilot innovations that keep our platform ahead of scale and compliance demands.
