About the Role

We are seeking a Staff Software Engineer to lead and mentor engineering teams while driving the architecture and development of robust, scalable backend systems and cloud infrastructure. This is a senior hands-on role with a strong focus on technical leadership, system design, and cross-functional collaboration across development, DevOps, and platform teams.

• Mentor engineering teams to uphold high coding standards and best practices in backend and full-stack development using Java, Spring Boot, Node.js, Python, and React.
  

• Guide architectural decisions to ensure performance, scalability, and reliability of systems.
  

• Architect and optimize relational data models and queries using MySQL.
  

• Define and evolve cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) across AWS or GCP.
  

• Lead DevOps teams in building and managing CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes clusters, and related cloud-native tooling.
  

• Drive best practices in observability using tools like Grafana, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, and centralized logging frameworks (e.g., ELK, CloudWatch, Stackdriver).
  

• Provide architectural leadership for microservices-based systems deployed via Kubernetes, including tools like ArgoCD for GitOps-based deployment strategies.
  

• Design and implement event-driven systems that are reliable, scalable, and easy to maintain.
  

• Own security and compliance responsibilities in cloud-native environments, ensuring alignment with frameworks such as ISO 27001, CISA, and CICRA.
  

• Ensure robust design and troubleshooting of container and Kubernetes networking, including service discovery, ingress, and inter-service communication.
  

• Collaborate with product and platform teams to define long-term technical strategies and implementation plans.
  

• Perform code reviews, lead technical design discussions, and contribute to engineering-wide initiatives.
  

Requirements

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years of software engineering experience with a focus on backend development and system architecture.
  

• Deep expertise in Java and Spring Boot, with strong working knowledge of Node.js, Python, and React.js.
  

• Proficiency in MySQL and experience designing complex relational databases.
  

• Hands-on experience with Terraform and managing infrastructure across AWS or GCP.
  

• Strong understanding of containerization, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines.
  

• Solid grasp of container and Kubernetes networking principles and troubleshooting techniques.
  

• Experience with GitOps tools such as ArgoCD and other Kubernetes ecosystem components.
  

• Deep knowledge of observability practices, including metrics, logging, and distributed tracing.
  

• Experience designing and implementing event-driven architectures using modern tooling (e.g., Kafka, Pub/Sub, etc.).
  

• Demonstrated experience in owning and implementing security and compliance measures, with practical exposure to standards like ISO 27001, CISA, and CICRA.
  

• Excellent communication skills and a proven ability to lead cross-functional technical efforts.
  

Preferred (Optional) Qualifications

• Contributions to open-source projects or technical blogs.
  

• Experience leading or supporting compliance audits such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, or similar.
  

• Exposure to service mesh technologies (e.g., Istio, Linkerd).
  

• Experience with policy enforcement in Kubernetes (e.g., OPA/Gatekeeper, Kyverno).
