  • Ensure comprehensive observability, performance monitoring, and error handling across team services
  • Participate in on-call rotations for your team and respond to incidents as necessary
  • Work focused on backend applications, and be open to contribute to mobile and frontend development, according to business needs

We are looking for a person who has

  • At least 10 years of experience developing digital products in complex environments
  • Deep expertise in distributed systems, microservices architecture, and cloud technologies
  • Proven track record of designing and delivering large-scale systems that serve thousands (or even millions) of users
  • Strong background in object-oriented or functional programming languages, with ability to work across multiple languages
  • Demonstrated ability to lead technical initiatives across multiple teams without direct authority
  • Experience mentoring senior engineers and raising the technical bar across organizations
  • Practical knowledge of agile software development methodologies and previous experience with CI/CD
  • Good communication skills to prevent risks and explain trade-offs clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Advanced English skills
