  • Drive end-to-end system design, including API contracts, data modelling, service boundaries, integration patterns, and deployment architecture.
  • Apply Domain-Driven Design (DDD), event-driven architecture, object-oriented principles, and established design patterns.
  • Design and optimize RESTful APIs, asynchronous messaging systems, and event-driven integrations using Kafka and other messaging technologies.
  • Make architectural decisions involving scalability, consistency, performance, reliability, security, and cost optimization.
  • Lead technical design reviews, evaluate architectural trade-offs, and establish reusable engineering patterns across teams.
  • Identify technical debt, architectural bottlenecks, and modernization opportunities

Hands-on Engineering & Technical Excellence

  • Remain actively involved in hands-on coding, prototyping, complex feature implementation, and critical technical problem-solving.
  • Develop and maintain enterprise applications using Java, Spring Boot, SQL/NoSQL databases, and cloud-native technologies.
  • Establish engineering standards for clean code, secure coding, automated testing, code reviews, and continuous integration.
  • Drive Test-Driven Development (TDD), automated testing, and shift-left quality practices.
  • Troubleshoot complex production issues, perform root cause analysis, and implement sustainable corrective actions.
  • Optimize system performance, API latency, database efficiency, and resource utilization.
