Responsibilities
• Design and develop systems and APIs with reliability and modularity in mind.
• Architect services to support multi-tenant, cloud-native applications.
• Lead efforts on code optimisation, refactoring, and scaling existing systems.
• Own full lifecycle—from requirement gathering to design, implementation, and support.
• Drive best practices for OOPS, design patterns, and system scalability.
• Ensure high availability (99.99%+), security, and monitoring of production systems.
• Partner with SREs, PMs, and other tech leads to deliver platform-wide capabilities.
• Mentor 2–4 systems engineers and lead technical conversations across multiple teams.
