Requirements
- Extensive professional experience designing, developing, and deploying robust backend APIs and microservices in production environments.
- Strong software engineering expertise, with Golang experience highly preferred.
- Proven experience re-architecting or modernizing legacy systems into distributed, cloud-native microservice architectures.
- Strong understanding of Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and the ability to establish effective boundaries between services and domains.
- Deep knowledge of distributed systems and their practical challenges, including database locking, eventual consistency, distributed caching, race conditions, throughput, and latency.
- Experience working with gRPC and Protobuf is highly valuable.
- Strong hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure, particularly Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Kubernetes/GKE.
- Experience with Docker and containerized application environments.
- Familiarity with high-scale distributed databases and caching technologies.
- Strong architectural judgment and the ability to create abstractions that remain useful and maintainable as systems evolve.
- Demonstrated ability to influence technical direction beyond an individual project or team.
- Experience conducting senior-level code reviews and mentoring experienced engineers.
Responsibilities
- Lead the architectural redesign and implementation of the next generation of a high-scale matchmaking engine.
- Collaborate with engineering teams and cross-functional stakeholders to define an architecture that is scalable, modular, decoupled, and extensible.
- Design clean, robust interfaces and high-level abstractions that simplify complex systems and enable teams to build new capabilities efficiently.
- Solve complex distributed-systems challenges related to massive throughput, low latency, reliability, concurrency, and service scalability.
- Leverage Google Cloud Platform, Kubernetes, and modern cloud-native practices to build highly resilient microservices.
- Establish and promote strong architectural and engineering standards across backend development.
- Conduct high-level code and architecture reviews, providing constructive guidance on design patterns, system boundaries, and technical quality.
- Act as a technical multiplier by mentoring senior engineers and sharing expertise in architecture, distributed systems, and backend engineering.
- Apply Domain-Driven Design principles to establish clear service boundaries and evolve legacy systems toward modern distributed architectures.
- Identify and address challenges involving database locking, eventual consistency, distributed caching, race conditions, and other issues inherent to high-scale systems.
