  • Build and optimize Kafka-based streaming solutions including producers, consumers, topics, schemas, retry patterns, and event-driven workflows.
  • Develop reliable REST APIs, microservices, and integration layers that enable real-time and near real-time product, inventory, pricing, and search data flows.
  • Partner with product, data engineering, search, and platform teams to deliver backend capabilities that improve scalability, latency, data freshness, and operational reliability.
  • Monitor service and streaming pipeline performance, identify bottlenecks, and implement improvements to ensure high availability, low latency, and fault tolerance.
  • Analyze and diagnose production issues that may impact service performance, data accuracy, streaming lag, or platform availability.
  • Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code and participate in code reviews to uphold backend engineering best practices.
  • Develop functional and technical documentation for backend services, APIs, Kafka event flows, operational runbooks, and assigned projects.

  • Strong proficiency in Java and/or Kotlin with hands-on experience building production-grade backend services, APIs, microservices, and event-driven applications.
  • Deep hands-on experience with microservices-oriented architecture, REST APIs, service integration patterns, and backend system design.
  • Strong experience with Kafka-based streaming technologies including producers, consumers, consumer groups, topic design, schema management, error handling, retries, and monitoring consumer lag.
  • Experience designing event-driven architectures and near real-time data pipelines.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD, Kubernetes, cloud platforms, observability tooling, and production support practices.
  • Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, distributed systems, and performance optimization.
  • Excellent technical, analytical, and interpersonal communication skills, both written and verbal.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and rapidly learn new technologies.
  • Ability to work flexible hours when needed to support critical business operations.
