Formación

• 5+ years of experience leading a cross-functional engineering team as an Engineering Manager.
• Bachelor’s/Master’s degree or equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• Proven hands-on background in backend systems development, with strong familiarity with GoLang, Python, PHP or comparable web application development technologies.
• Deep expertise in microservices architecture, including service decomposition, API design, inter-service communication, and data ownership patterns.
• Solid experience with container orchestration using Kubernetes, covering deployment, scaling, resource management, and operational best practices.
• Strong understanding of message broker systems, particularly RabbitMQ and/or Kafka, and the design of reliable event-driven workflows.
• Proficiency with relational databases (MySQL) including schema design, query optimization, and data integrity in a microservices context.
• Demonstrated commitment to the full software development lifecycle: design and architecture, testing (unit, integration, end-to-end), production deployments (blue/green, canary), and post-deployment observability (logging, metrics, alerting, tracing).
• Fluency with Agile methodologies — sprints, scrum, backlog refinement — and experience continuously improving team delivery practices.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity; able to decompose complex problems into clear, manageable work for the team.
• Effective communicator who can explain technical decisions and trade-offs to engineers, product managers, and senior leadership.
• Role model for engineering excellence, fostering a culture of quality, collaboration, and continuous learning.

Responsabilidades

• Partner with stakeholders to deeply understand business priorities and translate them into clear technical strategies for backend services supporting payments, shipping, and platform capabilities.
• Balance partner needs by designing solutions that advance platform reliability and scalability while enabling fast, confident feature delivery.
• Oversee the end-to-end delivery of backend microservices built in GoLang, ensuring production-grade quality, observability, and operational readiness at each stage.
• Champion solid software development practices including code review standards, testing strategies (unit, integration, contract), CI/CD pipelines, and production deployment processes.
• Drive the adoption of event-driven patterns while ensuring the team designs for resilience and fault tolerance.
• Ensure the team operates effective Agile ceremonies — sprint planning, standups, retrospectives — and continuously improves velocity and predictability.
• Grow, mentor, and develop a team of backend engineers, fostering a culture of ownership, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
