## Description

deeply involved in design and development. This is not a traditional people-management or delivery-management role-here, you will write code, architect solutions, lead complex projects, and coach engineers to maximize their potential. This role is perfect for leaders seeking high-growth, product-driven environments, who are passionate about distributed systems, and who want to directly influence the design of secure, scalable, and resilient infrastructure while cultivating top engineering talent. What You'll Do: Architect and design scalable, resilient, high-performance backend systems and platforms in AWS, prioritizing reliability, security, and cost efficiency. Contribute hands-on to key initiatives-including design reviews, prototyping, coding, performance tuning, and debugging-typically 30% of your time, while mentoring engineers and establishing high standards. Lead cross-team technical initiatives; drive design forums, establish engineering guardrails, and ensure high-quality, ownership and collaboration. What You Bring: 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, including ownership of large-scale backend systems in production. 3+ years of hands-on technical leadership (as Tech Lead or Manager) with a track record of leading complex, cross-team projects while contributing to code and design. 5+ years of experience with Golang (preferred) and/or Java, plus strong computer science fundamentals (data structures, concurrency, distributed systems). Deep understanding of AWS cloud-native architectures and services (e.g., ECS/EKS, Lambda, OpenSearch, DynamoDB, RDS, S3) and resilience patterns. Proficiency with microservices, API design, and event-driven systems, as well as experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes). Strong operational mindset: expert in observability, monitoring, incident response, performance engineering, and adherence to security best practices. Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing
