Responsibilities

Backend Services on AWS: Design and evolve Spring Boot services and REST APIs deployed to AWS, emphasizing resilience, performance, and maintainability as we transition off on‑prem systems
Asynchronous Patterns: Ship features using Kafka and AWS messaging (e.g., SNS/SQS/Kinesis), applying solid event design (publish/subscribe), thoughtful retry logic, and safe, idempotent workflows
Data Strategy: Shape schemas and optimize read/write paths across PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis; balance correctness with speed and cost efficiency
AI‑Accelerated Delivery: Use tools like GitHub Copilot and Amazon Q to streamline coding, tests, documentation, and CI/CD interactions—keeping human‑in‑the‑loop for judgement and security
Quality Built‑In: Define test approaches (unit, integration, contract), keep CI gates meaningful, and partner on pipeline improvements as we adopt AWS EKS
Operate with Insight: Instrument services with New Relic (or similar), set pragmatic SLIs/SLOs, and participate in a light on‑call rotation
Secure by Design: Apply secure coding practices, triage and remediate findings, and maintain awareness of PCI and SOX obligations
Lead Through Craft: Facilitate design discussions, mentor teammates, and set a high bar for code quality and review etiquette
Own the Outcome: Practice “build it, run it”—from development through production stability and continuous improvement
