Technical Leadership
Participate in the technical strategy for modular, event-driven, and scalable microservices that power enterprise-grade workflows
Develop reusable frameworks and self-service platforms for onboarding, configuration, and lifecycle management
Apply AI tools to accelerate software design, development, and operations - e.g., AI-assisted architecture reviews, test generation, and defect prediction
Influence cross-functional architecture decisions for customer, billing, pricing, and commerce systems integrated across the Quote-to-Cash flow
Champion design principles that balance innovation, maintainability, observability, and operational excellence
Engineering Excellence
Lead by example—building reliable, secure, and observable systems with strong performance SLAs
Establish best practices for API-first development, automated testing, DevSecOps, and continuous delivery
Partner with product managers to translate business intent into technical outcomes that scale globally
Participate in “AI Ops” automation across environments for faster root cause analysis and proactive reliability improvements
Mentorship and Influence
Serve as a mentor and technical coach, raising the level of engineering maturity across teams
Cultivate an engineering culture grounded in curiosity, experimentation, and craftsmanship
Advocate for pragmatic innovation—balancing long-term platform health with short-term delivery needs
Qualifications
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science and Engineering or equivalent
8+ years of engineering experience with strong depth in distributed systems, API platforms, and cloud-native development (Java, Node.js, or equivalent)
Proven experience in designing and operating microservice architecture at scale (preferably multi-tenant SaaS/PaaS)
Strong knowledge of event streaming (Kafka, Pub/Sub), container orchestration, automated CI/CD and observability frameworks (Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, Grafana, etc.)
Hands-on experience applying AI in software engineering—e.g., using generative AI for design, code, or operational insights
Deep understanding of data modeling, domain-driven design, and API lifecycle management
Excellent communication skills; able to influence at multiple levels of the organization
Experience in enterprise application integration (ERP, CRM, CPQ, or billing systems) and Quote-to-Cash automation will be a plus
A successful candidate will
