Job description

Software Engineer for AmpliFI Loyalty Solutions, Naperville, IL. Define the long-term architectural vision and technical strategy for ampliFI's customized credit and debit card loyalty platforms. Lead the design, evolution, and governance of highly scalable, secure, and fault-tolerant cloud-native solutions, providing the highest level of technical leadership and strategic direction to cross-functional engineering teams focused on loyalty, rewards, and card-linked programs for financial institutions.

Key Duties and Responsibilities

  • Architectural Strategy & Governance: Define, document, and enforce architectural principles, standards (e.g., SOLID, DRY), and patterns (e.g., microservices, event-driven architecture) across all engineering teams. Lead the technical planning for major platform evolution.

  • Cloud Platform Leadership (AWS Focus): Act as the highest-level subject matter expert for ampliFI's AWS ecosystem. Lead the design and optimization of high-scale data and application architectures utilizing EC2, S3, Lambda, Glue, and DynamoDB to ensure maximum reliability, cost efficiency, and performance for loyalty solutions.

  • System Design & Development Oversight: Oversee the design and implementation of core backend services in Java and related modern frameworks. Provide deep expertise and guidance on the integration of REACT front-end systems with the backend APIs, ensuring optimal performance and security across the stack.

  • Data Architecture Ownership: Design and govern the strategic evolution of data models and performance optimization for both relational databases (PostgreSQL/MySQL) and NoSQL databases (DynamoDB). Define best practices for data warehousing, ETL/ELT (using Glue), optimization, and data security to support complex loyalty program analytics and transactions.

  • Quality & Reliability Engineering: Define and establish company-wide Test-Driven Development (TDD) and quality assurance mandates, including automated testing frameworks and CI/CD pipelines (Docker/Kubernetes experience is moved from a "Plus" to a core responsibility at the Architect level).

  • Mentorship & Technical Direction: Serve as a technical mentor and coach for Senior and Software Engineers, resolving the most challenging technical roadblocks. Collaborate with Product Managers to translate long-term business goals into a detailed, executable technical roadmap.

Requirements

Do you have experience in System performance optimization?, Do you have a Master's degree?, Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field with three (3) years of experience as a software developer or related occupation in software development Must possess three years of experience in the following:

  • Designing and developing enterprise-level software systems, specifically defining cloud-native architectures within financial services.
  • Developing platform engineering in the loyalty rewards space.

Also requires demonstrable experience with:

  • Java and associated modern backend frameworks;
  • Designing and deploying applications using the AWS ecosystem (including Lambda, S3, EC2, DynamoDB, and Glue); and
  • Database design and optimization in MySQL or DynamoDB; and
  • experience with containerization technologies (e.g., Docker/Kubernetes).
