## Description

As a Senior Software Engineer (CL6) on the Credit Platform, you will design and operate Java-based backend services alongside BigQuery-powered data workflows that support credit and asset externalization processes.

You will work on systems where real-time services, large-scale data processing, and financial reporting intersect. This role requires strong technical ownership, sound judgment, and comfort operating in environments where system correctness and data integrity are essential.

**Responsibilities:**

- Design and build Java-based backend services and RESTful APIs supporting credit and asset externalization workflows

- Own BigQuery-backed datasets and pipelines used for reporting, reconciliation, and external data delivery

- Design data models and access patterns that support accurate, auditable representation of credit assets

- Optimize BigQuery performance, cost, and reliability using partitioning, clustering, and query tuning

- Build and operate real-time and near-real-time pipelines using Pub/Sub, batch or streaming frameworks, and Java services

- Leverage Dataproc for large-scale data processing and synchronization across BigQuery tables

- Ensure strong observability, data quality controls, and operational readiness across services and data workflows

- Partner with product, finance, risk, compliance, and engineering teams to deliver secure and compliant solutions

- Influence platform architecture and best practices through design reviews and technical leadership.

**Requirements:**

- 6+ years of professional experience as a software engineer building production systems

- Strong proficiency in Java, including designing and building RESTful APIs using Spring Boot or similar frameworks

- 4+ years of hands-on experience on Google Cloud Platform, particularly BigQuery, Dataproc, Pub/Sub, Cloud Run, and Cloud Functions

- Deep expertise in BigQuery internals, including Query execution plans and performance tuning, Table partitioning and clustering strategies, Partition sizing and cost versus performance tradeoffs, Bulk updates, real-time updates and deletes, and materialized views

- Experience designing and operating real-time and near-real-time data pipelines

- Strong experience with logging, monitoring, and observability, including dashboards, alerting, and production troubleshooting

- Proficiency with IAM, service accounts, and data access controls, including data localization and compliance requirements

- Ability to design scalable, reliable systems with a strong focus on correctness, performance, and operational excellence

- Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across engineering and cross-functional teams.

**Nice to have:**

- Experience building systems that support financial reporting, reconciliation, or external data sharing

- Familiarity with regulated environments and auditability requirements

- Experience with modern data architectures such as Data Lakes, Data Mesh, or Data Fabric

- Background in payments, credit, or financial services
