  • Collaboration & Mentorship: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align on technical decisions and drive improvements. Mentor junior engineers, providing guidance on best practices and setting technical standards across projects.
  • Ownership of Initiatives: Take ownership of technical initiatives, proactively address challenges, and drive improvements based on data reported by support teams.
  • Focus on Quality: Advocate for and implement quality assurance practices, ensuring the delivery of robust, high-performance software.
  • Other Duties: Contribute to additional responsibilities as needed to support the team’s success.

Qualifications and Requirements: 

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Technology, or equivalent work experience.
  • 10+ years of experience in Java software development, particularly for product applications. 
  • 5+ years of experience with highly scalable systems.
  • Proven experience in scaling systems and solving complex system design challenges.
  • Strong knowledge of object-oriented programming (OOP) design principles and practices.
