- Extensive experience in relational DB design (PostgreSQL/MySQL) including schema modeling and high-availability in Cloud SQL.
- Familiarity with mobile data persistence (SQLite/Realm/WatermelonDB) for offline-capable React Native apps.
- Hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform in production (GKE/Cloud Run, IAM, VPC, Pub/Sub).
- Observability tooling knowledge (Cloud Logging/Monitoring/Trace, OpenTelemetry, Datadog, Grafana, New Relic).
- Experience using AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf) in daily development.
- Knowledge of Vertex AI/LLM development or model evaluation is an advantage.
- Ability to evaluate data stores (MongoDB, Redis/Memorystore) for unstructured data and caching.
- Experience building in Flutter and WASM is an advantage.
- Background in construction tech (AEC, BIM, GIS, CDE, PMIS) is an advantage.
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain technical roadmaps for web, mobile, and backend systems aligned with project, business, and organisational requirements.
- Define and oversee end-to-end software architecture and services on Google Cloud Platform.
