Job description

Title - Java, Kotlin
 
 

As the Lead Backend Engineer, you’ll be hands-on in Kotlin every day, designing platform services, integrating workflow orchestration frameworks, and enabling GenAI-powered intent parsing and decision nodes. You need to understand complexity, trade offs and scaling.

Responsibilities: 

  • Design and build backend platform services in Kotlin for ingestion, orchestration, RBAC, monitoring, and developer tooling.
  • Implement and optimize workflow orchestration frameworks (e.g., Temporal, Cadence, Camunda, Argo).
  • Provide scalable APIs and abstractions that empower other teams to build workflows on the platform.
  • Integrate GenAI/NLP pipelines for intent parsing, process matching, and intelligent decisioning.
  • Champion developer experience (DX) through tooling, CI/CD improvements, and observability.
  • Mentor backend engineers, lead design reviews, and guide technical decisions.
  • Collaborate closely with frontend, product, and process analysts to ensure platform adoption and impact.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering, Data Science, or related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 10+ years of backend engineering experience, with strong Kotlin/JVM expertise.
  • Proven track record building platforms, frameworks, or orchestration services (not just applications).
  • Hands-on experience with workflow orchestration systems (Temporal, Cadence, Camunda, Argo, or similar).
  • Deep knowledge of distributed systems, API design, and event-driven architectures.
  • Practical experience integrating GenAI/NLP into backend systems.
  • Experience with RBAC/security models in multi-tenant or enterprise environments.
  • Strong bias for action, ability to thrive in lean teams inside large organizations, and passion for delivering value quickly.
  • Natural mentor with excellent communication skills; collaborates across functions and knows when to push back.
