SDE lll

In this role, you will be directly responsible for:

• AI-Native Velocity: Lead the 70% AI-assisted PR mandate by mastering Cursor, Copilot, and Claude

to accelerate delivery of Node.js (NestJS) and Golang microservices—while keeping human

intelligence focused on high-level system design and architecture decisions.

• Unbreakable Backend Architecture: Architect high-throughput, event-driven microservices using

Kafka and Redis, embedding resilience patterns like circuit breakers, health checks, and fallback

mechanisms to handle massive traffic spikes without manual intervention.

• Data & Performance Ownership: Own the unit economics of the data layer—optimize MySQL and

MongoDB queries, design efficient schemas, and ensure sub-second p99 latencies with predictable

infrastructure costs on GCP.

• End-to-End Golden Path Ownership: Drive features from design docs to Kubernetes deployment,

ensuring high reliability through strong engineering practices and maintaining low change failure rates

and minimal Sev-1 incidents.

• API & Service Design Excellence: Build clean, versioned, and backward-compatible APIs and

modular microservices with a strong focus on maintainability, scalability, and clear service contracts.

• Cloud-Native Operations & Observability: Design and operate services on Kubernetes with robust

logging, monitoring, and alerting; proactively debug production issues and ensure high availability.

• Scalability & Cost Efficiency: Continuously optimize system throughput, fault tolerance, and

infrastructure utilization to support high growth while maintaining strict control over cloud costs.

• Technical Leadership & Collaboration: Lead design decisions, write clear RFCs, mentor engineers,

and collaborate closely with Product, Frontend, Data, and DevOps teams to drive high-quality

outcomes.

• Core Engineering Excellence: Apply strong fundamentals in distributed systems, concurrency, and

data structures, combined with sharp problem-solving, debugging, and communication skills.
