This role requires 7+ years of experience in software design and development, expertise in AWS cloud services, and proficiency in Java and Node.js. Work from home.

Requirements

• 7+ years of hands-on experience in software design and development, with a strong emphasis on building and operating highly scalable, distributed, and performant cloud-based services
• Exceptional problem-solving skills with a demonstrated ability to analyze complex systems, identify critical issues, and implement effective solutions, particularly in the realm of system performance optimizations and innovations around that
• Deep, hands-on experience with AWS cloud services and designing resilient, scalable cloud-native architectures
• Proficiency with NoSQL databases (e.g., DynamoDB, MongoDB, Cassandra), including data modeling, performance tuning, and scalable deployment strategies
• Demonstrated excellence in cross-functional collaboration, with experience working effectively with multiple engineering teams, product management, and other stakeholders
• Proficiency in core languages such as Java and Node.js is essential
• Strong understanding of system architecture, data structures, algorithms, concurrency, and distributed computing principles
• Experience with API design (e.g., REST, gRPC) and data interchange formats (e.g., Protobuf, JSON)
• Familiarity with Agile development methodologies

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with stakeholders to define requirements and use cases and communicate task status and progress effectively
• Implement a data copying capability for industry-leading CAD formats by building upon a large-scale distributed system
• Work collaboratively within the team to implement a comprehensive solution for migrating massive datasets on the cloud
• Write clean, readable, and maintainable code, complete with unit tests, and diligently resolve defects to ensure high-quality software
• Improve service observability by implementing crucial metrics and dashboards to support the migration to the new visualization format
• Develop new backend capabilities and services to support the functionality of the advanced visualization format
• Actively participate in the team's Agile development process and uphold software engineering best practices

Preferred Qualifications

• Good understanding of functional programming paradigm is a good plus
• Good knowledge of asynchronous JavaScript development
• Experience with observability tools for monitoring, logging, and tracing in distributed systems (e.g., Dynatrace, Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk)
• Familiarity with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes) technologies
• Proficiency with CI/CD tools and practices (e.g., Jenkins, Spinnaker) and Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation)
• Understanding of network protocols (TCP/IP, HTTP/2, WebSockets) and their impact on streaming performance
• Experience mentoring senior engineers and driving technical strategy at a team or organizational level
