Fullstack-Minded Backend Expert: You have deep experience in backend systems and feel comfortable switching between languages. While backend is your priority, you don't shy away from the frontend;
practical expertise in React sis highly welcomed.

## Description

What You'll DoCollaborate on this modernization journey: Design and implement patterns for legacy displacement to move domains out of our monolith with zero downtime.

Set Technical Direction: Own the architectural vision for legacy displacement across the domain, defining the patterns, standards, and trade-offs that the wider team builds against, not just for your own work.

Level Up the Team: Multiply your impact by mentoring senior and mid-level engineers, raising the quality bar through design reviews, and growing the team's collective technical depth.

Bridge Tech Stacks: Build new services and help transition others from GO to Spring while navigating and contributing to other codebases.

Product Collaboration: Partner with product managers to question and form requirements, understand the "Why", and help shape a roadmap that balances technical debt with new value.

Global Collaboration: Communicate effectively across timezones. Your written documentation and async communication will be the glue for our distributed team.

Master Observability: Use Grafana and modern tracing to monitor system health, ensuring our backend-heavy domain remains performant and reliable.

Drive AI Efficiency: Leverage Agentic programming tools (like Claude Code) to accelerate refactoring and development workflows. Use it to deal with obvious problems and focus on the complex ones.
