- Explore and integrate AI/ML capabilities into marketplace products and engineering workflows.
- Work with AI/ML teams or product stakeholders to integrate intelligent features into applications where relevant.
- Evaluate emerging AI development tools, frameworks, and practices and identify opportunities for engineering productivity improvements.
Technical Leadership & Module Ownership:
- Provide technical leadership to a team of full-stack developers.
- Take co-ownership of critical product modules, ensuring quality, scalability, reliability, and timely delivery.
- Conduct code reviews, design reviews, and technical discussions.
- Mentor developers and establish strong engineering practices.
- Define development standards, coding guidelines, and reusable engineering patterns.
- Identify technical debt and drive continuous improvement.
Architecture & Scalability:
- Design scalable and resilient microservices and full-stack architectures.
- Define API design, service boundaries, data models, integration patterns, and application architecture.
- Ensure applications are designed for high availability, performance, scalability, and security.
- Evaluate architectural trade-offs and recommend appropriate technologies and solutions.
- Work closely with engineering leadership to define the technical roadmap.
Fast & Reliable Delivery:
- Drive fast deployment turnaround through effective development, testing, automation, and CI/CD practices.
- Improve engineering processes to reduce development and release cycle times.
- Ensure rapid delivery without compromising application security, reliability, or maintainability.
- Collaborate with QA and DevOps teams to streamline release and deployment processes.
Infrastructure & Reliability:
- Work with DevOps and infrastructure teams to maintain application availability, performance, and uptime.
- Contribute to AWS architecture and cloud-native application design.
- Implement monitoring, logging, alerting, and observability practices.
- Troubleshoot production issues and lead root-cause analysis.
- Ensure applications are resilient and capable of handling increasing traffic and transaction volumes.
Engineering Quality & Security:
- Establish high standards for code quality, testing, security, and maintainability.
- Ensure secure development practices across APIs, applications, databases, and cloud infrastructure.
- Implement appropriate authentication, authorization, data protection, and API security mechanisms.
- Drive automated testing and continuous quality improvements.
- Review application performance and identify optimization opportunities.
Collaboration & End-to-End Delivery:
- Collaborate closely with Product, Business, QA, DevOps, Design, Data, and other engineering teams.
