Responsibilities
Define and govern all internal and external interoperability contracts using GraphQL Schema Definition Language and Protocol Buffers
Enforce strict versioning, deprecation, and backward-compatibility guarantees across interfaces
Establish and maintain a shared schema repository with automated code generation for Golang services and frontend clients
Author canonical data models, mapping guides, and transformation logic with full data lineage
Design normalized, versioned input schemas for rule evaluation
Implement enrichment, validation, and idempotent ingestion from internal systems and external partners
Build fan-in pipelines from streaming and queueing systems into the rules engine, including back-pressure handling, dead-letter queues, and replay support
Implement structured decision output channels to internal services and external partners, ensuring exactly-once-effective delivery where required
Provide simulation and sandbox capabilities, including record/replay harnesses, golden datasets, and impact analysis prior to promotion
Publish end-to-end audit trails and decision traces with correlation identifiers, privacy controls, and field-level redaction
Partner closely with backend teams to keep the rules engine isolated from network I/O and governed by strict input/output contracts
Standardize real-time ingestion and fan-out using streaming platforms, implementing durable consumers with checkpointing and partition strategies
Govern asynchronous workflows with queues, including retries, exponential backoff, idempotency keys, and poison-queue handling
Propagate trace context and correlation identifiers across all asynchronous boundaries to support full observability
Define and enforce gRPC standards, including deadlines, retries, and consistent error semantics
Curate and govern the GraphQL gateway, including queries, mutations, and subscriptions
Enforce schema linting, breaking-change detection, and living documentation
Lead technical discovery, onboarding, and certification with third-party data providers
Establish partner sandboxes and automated contract tests
Implement and manage third-party APIs with strong controls around quota management, privacy, resiliency, and failover
Build adapter layers that abstract partner-specific behavior behind stable internal contracts
Publish operational runbooks and troubleshooting documentation
Deliver services on Kubernetes using automated CI/CD pipelines
Design deployable units, environment promotion strategies, and safe rollback mechanisms
Instrument services end-to-end using distributed tracing and centralized logging and alerting
Enforce secret management, rotation, request signing, and least-privilege access
Own data durability, recovery, and replay strategies across relational, in-memory, search, NoSQL, and object storage systems
Define non-functional requirements for latency, throughput, and durability
Translate requirements into service level objectives and error budgets
Build automated test suites across contract, integration, end-to-end, and performance layers
Partner with Quality Assurance to align coverage to risk and enforce release gates
Publish change logs, deprecation notices, and migration playbooks
Train support teams on incident categories, diagnostics, and root-cause tagging
Operate within Scrum or Kanban frameworks, including backlog grooming, estimation, sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives
Decompose work into incremental, releasable deliverables across platform, backend, frontend, and QA teams
Maintain architectural decision records and drive alignment through design and architecture reviews
