About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer with strong DevOps and cloud platform expertise to design, build, deploy, and operate scalable cloud-native services and their supporting engineering infrastructure. You will focus on Java, Spring Boot, AWS, PostgreSQL, CI/CD, and Infrastructure as Code, taking full ownership of solutions from development through production operations. This role involves partnering with various teams to enhance platform reliability, deployment velocity, operational maturity, and developer experience, appealing to engineers who enjoy both building production software and optimizing its delivery and operation at scale.

Responsibilities

Design, build, test, and support scalable backend services, REST APIs, and microservices using Java, Spring Boot, AWS, and PostgreSQL, prioritizing reliability, performance, and maintainability.
Own and continuously improve CI/CD pipelines and release workflows, including automated builds, testing, security scanning, artifact management, deployment, rollback, and environment promotion.
Design and automate secure, repeatable cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code, supporting containerized and cloud-native deployment patterns across AWS environments.
Own solutions across the full software delivery lifecycle, encompassing technical design, implementation, infrastructure provisioning, automated testing, deployment, monitoring, troubleshooting, incident response, and production support.
Build and evolve resilient distributed systems using asynchronous messaging, event-driven architecture, caching, service-to-service communication, and fault-tolerant design patterns.
Strengthen platform reliability and observability through logging, metrics, dashboards, alerting, tracing, performance analysis, capacity planning, root-cause analysis, and operational improvements.
Partner across Engineering, Product, Architecture, and Security to drive engineering quality via code and infrastructure reviews, secure development practices, automation, mentoring, and continuous improvement.

Requirements

Strong hands-on software engineering experience building, deploying, and supporting production backend applications and cloud-based systems.
Strong hands-on experience with Java and Spring Boot.
Strong experience deploying and operating applications and infrastructure on AWS.
Hands-on experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using tools such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, AWS CodePipeline, or similar platforms.
Experience implementing Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, CloudFormation, AWS CDK, or comparable technologies.
Experience with containerization and cloud-native deployment using Docker and Kubernetes, Amazon ECS, Amazon EKS, or similar platforms.
Strong experience with PostgreSQL, including SQL development, schema design, migrations, indexing, query optimization, and production support.
Experience designing and developing REST APIs, microservices, and distributed systems.
Demonstrated experience with monitoring, logging, alerting, troubleshooting, and production incident support.
Ability to independently solve complex engineering and operational problems while balancing scalability, reliability, security, maintainability, cost, and delivery needs.
Strong communication and collaboration skills, including the ability to explain technical decisions, dependencies, operational risks, and trade-offs to technical and non-technical partners.
Experience contributing to engineering quality through activities such as code reviews, infrastructure reviews, mentoring, or technical knowledge sharing.
