Responsibilities

Design and implement large-scale distributed backend systems using high-performance languages (Java/Go/Scala or similar)
Architect data partitioning, replication, and consistency strategies for each workload
Build resilient APIs and event-driven services with observability, idempotency, and graceful degradation
Optimize latency, throughput, and cost via profiling, benchmarking, and load testing
Lead architecture reviews, technical design discussions, and trade-off analyses
Implement robust failure-handling patterns (retries, timeouts, circuit breakers, bulkheads, saga workflows)
Design and operate data stores at scale (relational, key-value, document, search)
Improve observability using structured logs, metrics, and distributed tracing
Drive incident response and post-incident learning for critical services
Mentor mid-level engineers and lead by example in code quality and operational rigor
Partner with SRE/platform teams to improve reliability and reduce operational toil
Maintain comprehensive technical documentation (architecture diagrams, ADRs/design decisions, configuration refs, runbooks, procedures)

Hands-on experience with high-throughput message systems (Kafka)
Experience operating systems at scale (capacity planning, performance tuning)
Strong SQL skills with both relational and NoSQL data stores
Hands-on experience with major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
Strong debugging and root-cause analysis
