Technical Leadership & Governance:

Establish enterprise engineering standards, conduct architectural reviews, enforce secure coding practices, and mentor engineers across multiple delivery teams.

Cloud & Integration Strategy:

Drive AWS cloud-native solution design leveraging Infrastructure as Code (IaC), robust API management, and enterprise integration patterns.

Platform Capabilities & Reusability:

Build reusable platform frameworks, SDKs, business rules engines, and shared capabilities to accelerate delivery and reduce friction across engineering units.

Operational Excellence & DevSecOps:

Define and enforce standards for CI/CD pipelines, DevSecOps practices, and system observability (logging, alerting, metrics, distributed tracing).

Data & Messaging Infrastructure:

Oversee scalable data modeling, complex SQL optimization, and Kafka platform administration to support high-throughput messaging and streaming.

Stakeholder Alignment:

Collaborate with Product Owners, Solutions Architects, and business executives to translate business requirements into technical roadmaps and risk-mitigated delivery plans.

Qualifications Education:

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, IT, or equivalent practical experience.

Core Experience:

10+ years of progressive software engineering experience, including 8+ years of hands-on Java development and 3+ years in a technical leadership/principal capacity.

Technical Stack Expertise:

Backend: Advanced Java, Spring Boot (IoC, auto-configuration, custom beans), REST APIs, and microservices architecture.

Messaging & Streaming: 3+ years of hands-on experience with Apache Kafka, event-driven design, and platform administration.

Cloud: Extensive experience building AWS-native solutions (Lambda, S3, EC2, API Gateway, SNS/SQS, CloudWatch, CloudFormation).

Frontend: Hands-on development experience with Angular or modern Web application frameworks.

Data: Advanced proficiency in SQL, relational and NoSQL database modeling, and query performance tuning.

Architecture Concepts: Deep mastery of Domain-Driven Design (DDD), bounded contexts, configuration-driven patterns, and resilience engineering (circuit breakers, fault tolerance, retry logic).

DevOps & Observability: Hands-on experience with CI/CD tools (Git, Jenkins, Jira), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes/OpenShift), and monitoring suites (Datadog, Splunk, Grafana, OpenTelemetry).

Leadership & Communication: Proven track record of influencing cross-team technical decisions, mentoring senior talent, and effectively bridging business goals with technical execution.
