• Optimize data-centric applications by modeling and tuning IRIS/Cache data structures, SQL access, persistent classes, queries, and application logic for performance, scalability, and reliability.

• Lead modernization and integration efforts, including legacy component upgrades and migrations such as Cache to IRIS, while maintaining backward compatibility and implementing REST APIs, messaging, and file or batch integration patterns.

• Support operational excellence by troubleshooting incidents, performing root-cause analysis, implementing preventive improvements, embedding secure software development practices, partnering with security and risk teams, and mentoring engineers across engineering, QA, architecture, architecture, infrastructure, and product teams.

• 7+ years of software engineering experience, including technical leadership for enterprise systems with ownership of design, mentoring, and delivery accountability.

• 5+ years of hands-on experience with InterSystems Cache and/or InterSystems IRIS, including strong ObjectScript development and support expertise.

• 3+ years of experience building and supporting high-performance, data-centric applications with SQL, indexing, query optimization, performance tuning, and operational readiness in IRIS/Cache environments.

• 2+ years of Agile delivery experience using Scrum or Kanban, including story refinement, estimation, sprint planning, demos, retrospectives, and participation in production support or incident response.

What would be nice to have?

• 3+ years of experience with IRIS/Cache administration or close operational partnership, including installations, upgrades, backup and restore, monitoring, and high availability concepts such as mirroring or failover.

• 2+ years of experience with interoperability and engineering enablement, including REST/JSON APIs, messaging, ETL pipelines, batch or file interfaces, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and Git-based workflows.
