- Define and streamline CI/CD pipelines, ensuring rapid and reliable deployment cycles.

- Collaborate with product managers, frontend engineers, and DevOps to deliver end-to-end solutions.

- Monitor system performance, identify bottlenecks, and apply proactive fixes.

- Drive best practices in software engineering, testing, and code reviews.

Requirements:

- 5+ years of experience in backend engineering, with deep hands-on coding experience.

- Strong proficiency in Java and familiarity with modern frameworks.

- Proven track record in building scalable distributed systems.

- Hands-on expertise with AWS services (e.g., EC2, S3, Lambda, DynamoDB, RDS).

- Solid understanding of messaging systems like Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar.

- Strong grasp of query performance optimization and storage system design.

- Experience with caching solutions (Redis, Memcached, etc.).

- Familiarity with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.).

- Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to thrive in fast-paced environments.

- Strong communication and collaboration skills, with a proactive mindset.
