- Collaborate with cross-functional technology and business teams to translate requirements into robust technical designs and implementation approaches.

- Manage production support of mission-critical systems, lead production incident and problem management (investigation, resolution, root cause analysis, and prevention), and drive continuous improvement for stability and performance.

**Job Requirements:**

- Bachelor’s degree (or above) in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related discipline.

- Minimum 10 years of relevant experience in system design and development.

- Minimum 5 years in a management and/or technical leadership capacity, with proven experience leading developers and owning delivery outcomes.

- Strong problem-solving skills, with an analytical mindset and the ability to troubleshoot complex technical issues.

- Strong track record delivering mission-critical systems with complex stakeholder environments; excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

- Strong hands-on expertise in Java engineering, including API design, concurrency, performance tuning, and troubleshooting production issues.

- Strong experience with microservice architecture, containers/Kubernetes, messaging/streaming (e.g., Kafka, ActiveMQ), Linux, and database; solid understanding of cloud-native patterns is preferred.

- Familiarity with modern DevOps/engineering toolchains (e.g., source control, CI/CD, unit/integration testing, static analysis, artifact management) and quality practices.
