Job Responsibilities
Architect & Evolve the POD’s Technical Solution
Define and evolve architecture aligned to our organization’s platform and enterprise patterns, emphasizing modularity, composability, and scalability.
Design and implement service boundaries, integration strategies, and APIs leveraging modern architectural approaches (e.g., event-driven, microservices, serverless).
Collaborate with platform, data, and architecture teams to define consistent patterns for application layering, schema alignment, and observability.
Balance pragmatic delivery with a vision for long‑term extensibility—minimizing rework while avoiding premature complexity.
Lead coding standards, code reviews, and automated testing practices (unit, integration, and E2E).
Guide adoption of best‑in‑class CI/CD workflows, observability, and infrastructure as code.
Champion performance, security, and operational readiness in every stage of the software development lifecycle.
Mentor and Empower the Engineering Team
Serve as a player‑coach—modeling strong engineering practices, pair programming, and problem solving in real‑time.
Mentor junior and mid‑level engineers, helping them grow in system thinking, modern development, and technical decision‑making.
Encourage a culture of collaboration, continuous improvement, and experimentation.
Ensure Quality, Performance, and Reliability
Define and enforce non‑functional requirements (e.g., latency, error budgets, fault tolerance).
Surface technical risks early and propose mitigation strategies—whether performance bottlenecks, integration gaps, or legacy constraints.
Embed testing, monitoring, and alerting into the development process to enable operational visibility and runtime stability.
Partner Across Product and Platform
Work with the TPO to shape a balanced backlog that delivers user value while addressing technical debt and foundational needs.
Coordinate with platform and DevOps teams to align on shared services, environments, and deployment pipelines.
Support technical spikes, proof‑of‑concepts, and rapid prototyping that accelerate product discovery and de‑risk delivery.
