Strong production experience in Go, C++, or C# is preferred, with API design and CI/CD practices. The role involves containers, Docker, Kubernetes-based services, databases, and full SDLC responsibilities from design to production support.

Qualifications

• 4-8 years of software engineering experience building production software, backend services, distributed systems, or cloud-native platforms.
• Hands-on development experience in Go, C++, or C#.
• Experience developing REST APIs or service-to-service integrations as part of core product work.
• Experience building microservices end-to-end, including design, implementation, testing, deployment, and production support.
• Experience with Docker and containerized service development, including building or maintaining Docker images.

• Develop cloud-native microservices using containerized architectures, Docker, Kubernetes, and modern CI/CD pipelines.
• Contribute to service object lifecycle workflows, including APIs used to create, manage, update, and delete resources.
• Work across the full SDLC translating requirements into scalable, secure services.
• Develop or modify Kubernetes-based service components with engineering depth beyond basic usage.
• Collaborate with architects, product management, partner teams, and engineers to deliver reliable cloud-service capabilities.
• Participate in architecture reviews, code reviews, and operational readiness reviews.
• Troubleshoot production issues, perform root cause analysis, and implement long-term improvements.
