• Automate remediation and operational tasks where appropriate to reduce toil and improve service resilience
• Partner with product and technology stakeholders to translate requirements into scalable, well-defined technical solutions
• Contribute to engineering communities of practice by sharing knowledge, establishing reusable patterns, and promoting modern tools and techniques
• Promote an inclusive team culture grounded in respect, collaboration, and continuous learning

Required qualifications, capabilities and skills

• Experience designing and building RESTful APIs
• Working knowledge of relational and NoSQL databases, including data modeling and performance considerations
• Hands-on experience with streaming/messaging technologies (e.g., Kafka); familiarity with Spark is a plus where relevant
• Experience with dependency injection and modular service design (e.g., using Spring)
• Experience containerizing and operating services using Docker and Kubernetes (including Helm)
• Experience improving automated testing and integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines

Preferred qualifications, capabilities and skills
