Qualifications
Your ResponsibilitiesTechnical ContributionsEngage daily with the codebase by designing, building, and implementing sophisticated backend features and infrastructure. Take full ownership of the team's technical deliverables and key epics. Make informed architecture and API design choices, considering scalability, maintainability, and long-term business impact. Utilize advanced design patterns including SOLID principles, Domain-Driven Design (DDD), and Hexagonal Architecture to create loosely coupled, low-dependency systems. Promote test-driven development and maintain high code quality standards throughout the team's output. Oversee and enhance CI/CD pipelines, deployment practices, and release management processes. Technical LeadershipEmpower senior individual contributors to take charge of architectural decisions; act as a facilitator and mediator rather than the default technical authority. Collaborate with stakeholders to scope epics and establish epic-level acceptance criteria. Contribute significantly to roadmapping by providing technical guidance, estimations, and identifying effective solutions. Ensure the team remains focused on priority tasks — diving deeper into critical areas rather than spreading themselves too thin, while actively managing work in progress. Coordinate with other teams to manage dependencies and ensure backend services align with their requirements. Proactively identify potential scalability issues and advocate for necessary infrastructure investments before they escalate into problems. People Leadership & Team DevelopmentLead team ceremonies including standups, sprint planning sessions, retrospectives, and demonstrations. Mentor engineers at all experience levels, providing tailored coaching on technical excellence, professional growth, and effective working habits. Take ownership of performance management tasks such as goal-setting, performance reviews, growth plans, and addressing difficult conversations.
