This role is pivotal in modernizing e-commerce platform, integrating with cutting-edge SaaS solutions, and ensuring systems are designed for resiliency, reliability, and operational excellence. As a senior team member, you will drive technical design decisions, mentor junior developers, and embed Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) best practices into our workflows.

    Key Responsibilities

    • Cloud-Native Development
      • Architect, design, and implement innovative microservices and micro-frontends for scalable and maintainable applications.
      • Leverage frameworks like Spring Cloud and Node.js to build cutting-edge backend solutions.
      • Drive the adoption of advanced programming techniques, ensuring code quality, performance, and reusability.
    • Technical Leadership
      • Act as a thought leader in cloud-native development, championing the adoption of emerging technologies and best practices.
      • Provide strategic guidance to cross-functional teams, aligning technology efforts with business objectives.
      • Lead design reviews and architectural discussions to ensure robust, forward-thinking solutions.
    • Kubernetes Orchestration and Optimization
      • Deploy, manage, and optimize applications within Kubernetes clusters, ensuring high availability and resource efficiency.
      • Leverage advanced features like service meshes (e.g., Istio) and Kubernetes Operators to streamline microservices communication and orchestration.
      • Automate infrastructure setup using tools like Helm, Terraform, and Kustomize.
    • Event-Driven Architecture and Reactive Systems
      • Design and implement event-driven architectures using tools like Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ, or Azure AIS.
      • Apply advanced design patterns such as Event Sourcing, CQRS, and Saga for building responsive, asynchronous systems.
      • Promote the use of reactive programming frameworks like Spring WebFlux for real-time, high-throughput applications.
    • Driving Low-Code Innovation
      • Integrate and enhance enterprise applications with low-code platforms (e.g., OutSystems, Azure Functions, PowerApps).
      • Define strategies for balancing low-code solutions with custom development to maximize agility and scalability.
      • Innovate within low-code ecosystems to drive rapid prototyping and deployment of business-critical solutions.
    • Architectural Excellence
      • Define and implement modern architectural patterns like Domain-Driven Design (DDD), Hexagonal Architecture, and Strangler Fig.
      • Develop technology blueprints that align with both current and future enterprise needs.
      • Ensure scalability, security, and maintainability in all architectural decisions.
    • Cutting-Edge Programming Practices
      • Champion modern programming paradigms, such as reactive programming and functional programming, for efficiency and performance.
      • Promote code modularity, testability, and maintainability using best practices and tools.
      • Experiment with emerging tools and technologies to continuously evolve the development landscape.
    • Mentorship and Knowledge Sharing
      • Mentor developers across teams, fostering a culture of innovation and technical excellence.
      • Conduct workshops, training sessions, and code reviews to upskill team members.
      • Serve as a trusted advisor and subject matter expert in cloud-native technologies.
    • Continuous Innovation and Optimization
      • Identify opportunities for innovation in processes, tools, and technologies to maintain a competitive edge.
      • Implement monitoring and observability solutions (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack) to ensure system health and performance.
      • Optimize cost, performance, and scalability of cloud-native solutions.

    Required Skills and Qualifications
