Job Description:

• This role is for a senior engineering leader responsible for designing, building, and delivering cloud-native, microservices-based platforms within a financial services environment.
• The position combines deep expertise in Java Spring Boot, GoLang, and AWS cloud infrastructure, with strong ownership across the full lifecycle-from architecture to production operations.
• The primary focus is on leading the development of scalable, secure, and resilient systems using modern microservices architecture.
• The lead will define architectural patterns such as API-first design, event-driven systems, and domain-driven design, ensuring alignment with enterprise standards and banking regulations.
• A key part of the role is building high-performance backend services using Spring Boot, while leveraging GoLang for optimized, low-latency services in critical components.
• On the cloud front, the role requires strong hands-on experience with AWS services and the ability to define and manage infrastructure using Terraform (Infrastructure as Code).
• This includes establishing best practices for automated provisioning, deployment pipelines, and environment consistency.
• The lead will also oversee DevOps practices, including CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and observability using monitoring tools.
  From a delivery perspective, the role involves end-to-end ownership of full-stack engineering outcomes, particularly backend and API layers, while collaborating closely with frontend teams.
• The candidate must ensure seamless integration across systems and secure communication with downstream banking platforms.
• Given the financial services context, the role demands strong awareness of compliance, security, and regulatory requirements.
• The lead must design solutions that meet data privacy standards, ensure high availability, and support mission-critical functions such as payments, fraud detection, or core banking systems.
• Performance engineering is also critical, with emphasis on optimizing throughput, reducing latency, and implementing resilience patterns.
• In addition to technical leadership, the role requires managing distributed teams across onsite and offshore locations.
• The lead will mentor engineers, enforce engineering best practices, and drive governance around code quality, secure coding, and delivery standards.
• Strong communication skills are essential to engage with business stakeholders and translate requirements into scalable technical solutions.
• Overall, this role is suited for a senior professional who can bridge architecture, engineering execution, and business outcomes, delivering high-quality, compliant, and scalable platforms in a complex enterprise environment.
