What You'll Do
Own end-to-end product development across the full technology stack, including React and Node.js frontend and backend services, PostgreSQL and distributed data stores, Databricks data pipelines, and AI/agentic systems.
Lead architectural decisions for scalable, cloud-native platform components, establishing clear service boundaries, API contracts, and deployment patterns that enable rapid feature velocity and operational reliability.
Design and implement event-driven microservices and data integration patterns, ensuring idempotency, resilience, and observability across asynchronous workflows and cross-platform data flows.
Build and optimize high-performance user interfaces using React, applying modern performance engineering techniques including code splitting, lazy loading, bundle optimization, and CDN strategies to achieve production-grade Core Web Vitals and user experience standards.
Architect and deploy data pipelines using Databricks medallion architecture, Unity Catalog, and asset-bundle deployment patterns, ensuring data quality, security, and accessibility for analytics and AI workloads.
Develop AI-enabled and agentic product features using semantic search, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and large language models, with attention to access control, evaluation frameworks, and production observability.
Establish and maintain production observability across distributed systems using APM, structured logging, and metrics collection; define SLIs/SLOs and drive incident response and reliability improvements.
Collaborate with product, design, and business stakeholders to translate market requirements and customer feedback into technical architecture and prioritized delivery roadmaps.
Champion best practices across the technology stack including CI/CD automation, infrastructure-as-code, security hardening, and code quality tooling; mentor and elevate engineering standards across teams.
Own the operational excellence of deployed systems, including capacity planning, cost optimization, security compliance, and disaster recovery readiness.
