- Identify technical risks, propose solutions, and coordinate cross-team deliveries.
- Foster Learning & Innovation
- Stay current on emerging backend technologies, cloud services, and industry trends.
- Lead brown-bag sessions, hackathons, or tech talks to share knowledge across teams.
- Experience & Expertise
- 5+ years building backend services in high-traffic, distributed environments.
- Deep knowledge of at least one major backend language (e.g., Java, Go, Python, Node.js) and its ecosystem.
- Solid understanding of microservices, REST/GraphQL, message queues (Kafka/RabbitMQ), and relational/NoSQL databases.
- Experience in AWS/GCP.
- DevOps Mindset
- Hands-on with containerization (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes), and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation).
- Familiarity with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, CircleCI) and monitoring/logging stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK).
- Collaboration & Communication
- Proven ability to work seamlessly with frontend, design, QA, and DevOps teams.
- Strong verbal and written communication; experience running design discussions and writing technical specs.
- Leadership & Mentorship
- Track record of guiding and growing other engineers-pair programming, code reviews, career coaching.
Ability to influence technical direction and drive consensus in a fast-paced environment.
