Key Responsibilities Lead the design and evolution of technology solutions, ensuring scalability, performance, security, and maintainability .

Drive architectural decisions and trade-offs (e.g., microservices vs modular monolith ), applying patterns such as DDD , Clean/Hexagonal Architecture , and event-driven approaches when relevant.

Design, build, and evolve REST APIs , including versioning, contract-first practices ( OpenAPI ), backward compatibility, and robust error handling.

Define and enforce engineering standards: clean code , testing strategy, code reviews, observability, security practices, and CI/CD .





Mentor and coach engineers, fostering a strong delivery culture and continuously raising the engineering bar.

Partner with Product, QA, UX, and stakeholders to refine scope, assess technical risks, shape the roadmap, and deliver incrementally.

Encourage AI-first engineering practices (Copilot/GenAI) with proper governance: quality gates, security, traceability, and testing.

Who You Are 10+ years of software engineering experience with proven technical leadership (Tech Lead, Lead Engineer, or strong senior with leadership responsibilities).

Strong backend expertise in Java (ideally 17/21/25+) with solid testing practices (e.g., JUnit/Mockito ) and performance awareness.

Proven ability to design and communicate software architecture: microservices/modular monoliths, Clean/Hexagonal, SOLID principles, integration patterns, and API design.

Strong engineering fundamentals: CI/CD , Git workflows, code review practices, observability (logs/metrics/traces), and a secure-by-design mindset.

Nice to have / Strong plus
Kafka/RabbitMQ , event-driven architectures, CQRS , saga/outbox patterns.

Docker/Kubernetes , Terraform/IaC , and cloud experience (AWS/Azure/GCP).

OAuth2/OIDC , JWT, and security best practices (OWASP).

Experience in high-traffic systems,



performance tuning, and caching strategies.

Experience working in AI-assisted engineering environments and setting quality/security guardrails.

Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; able to influence decisions and align teams.

Professional English ( B2+ preferred ) for global collaboration and documentation.

AI-Native Engineering (Core Expectation) Use Generative AI coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor) as a first-class engineering assistant for:

Code scaffolding and refactoring

Code generation and optimisation

Test-cases and documentation generation

Build applications through AI-driven development practices , including:

AI-assisted debugging and troubleshooting

Intelligent code completion and pattern recognition

Automated documentation generation

Apply prompt engineering best practices for reliable, repeatable engineering outcomes.

Validate GenAI output (determinism checks, guardrails, fallback logic).
