As a Sr. Backend Engineer on the Employees team, you will be a primary technical architect and leader driving the evolution of our employee management platform, shift scheduling systems, labor tracking mechanics, and payroll/workforce management integrations. You will partner with leadership to define technical roadmaps, establish architectural standards, and solve complex scalability challenges.

Responsibilities

• Drive the strategic technical vision and system architecture for Clover’s Employees platform, shift scheduling engines, and enterprise integrations.
• Design, build, and govern resilient, high-throughput microservices and APIs powering smart payment devices, merchant web dashboards, and third-party enterprise integrations.
• Collaborate with Product, Design, and Engineering leadership to shape product strategy, break down ambiguous technical problems, and translate complex business domains into scalable, future-proof software architectures.
• Set engineering standards, establish best practices for code quality and security, and lead complex system design reviews across the organization.
• Partner with Infrastructure and Data teams to design highly available, multi-tenant data models that support large-scale workforce tracking, real-time scheduling, and enterprise data sync.
• Elevate the engineering team’s collective capabilities by mentoring Senior and Mid-level engineers, fostering a culture of technical rigor, and driving continuous operational improvements.
• Oversee overall platform reliability, resilience, and performance, serving as a escalation point for complex architectural issues and participating in an on-call rotation.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 10+ years of hands-on professional software engineering experience, with a demonstrated track record of architecting and operating mission-critical, large-scale backend systems.
• Deep expertise in Java and the broader JVM ecosystem.
• Extensive experience designing, building, and decomposing distributed microservices using Spring Boot.
• Hands-on experience architecting cloud-native systems, deploying and operating containers in Kubernetes, and managing Infrastructure as Code via Terraform (GCP experience preferred).
• Proven track record in schema design, data modeling, query optimization, and transaction management across both SQL (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL datastores at high scale.
• Deep expertise in RESTful API design, versioning, security standards, and building developer-friendly integration contracts for internal and external partners.
