We are seeking a seasoned and hands-on Senior Software Engineer to lead the design and implementation of enterprise-grade microservices and platform capabilities that operate at global scale. This role is pivotal in building resilient, observable, and policy-compliant software systems that power mission-critical business functions. Leveraging technologies like Java, Python, Helm, Kubernetes, and event-driven architectures, you will deliver reusable software patterns with embedded controls to meet enterprise security, compliance, and risk management standards.

The ideal candidate is a strong technical leader who can translate architectural vision into production-ready, scalable code with a focus on governance-as-code and automation.

• Design, develop, and maintain high-scale, low-latency microservices in Java and Python that support enterprise platforms with stringent uptime, compliance, and observability requirements.
• Engineer event-driven architectures using Kafka or equivalent messaging platforms to enable asynchronous workflows, decoupled service communication, and scalable event sourcing.
• Develop and maintain Helm charts, Kubernetes manifests, and YAML-based configurations to deploy and manage cloud-native applications in production environments.
• Design and implement enterprise-scale reusable service patterns, including service discovery, distributed configuration, fault tolerance, and global failover strategies.
• Embed policy-as-code in CI/CD workflows using tools like OPA/Gatekeeper, Kyverno, or custom controls, enforcing security, compliance, and infrastructure governance at deploy time.
• Partner with security, compliance, and risk teams to codify controls into automated pipelines, ensuring software systems are audit-ready by default.
• Implement compliance-aware telemetry and alerting tied to controls such as data residency, encryption, access boundaries, and runtime immutability.
• Drive the adoption of platform-wide architectural standards for service-to-service communication, identity propagation, rate-limiting, and secret injection.
• Provide hands-on leadership in technical design reviews, deep dive troubleshooting, and performance tuning of distributed, containerized systems.
• Author and maintain technical documentation, platform onboarding guides, and reusable code templates to enable faster and safer developer onboarding.
