Promote clean code, quality engineering, and continuous improvement across teams
Champion performance, scalability, and security across applications

What We’re Looking For

8+ years in software engineering, with 3+ years leading development and QA teams
Deep experience with Java, Tomcat/Wildfly, and microservice architecture
Strong understanding of CI/CD, caching strategies (Redis, CDN), and performance optimization
Hands-on experience with Oracle DB, Elasticsearch, Kibana, and QA tools like Selenium
Familiarity with front-end frameworks (ReactJS/Node), RESTful APIs, and third-party integrations
Experience with Content Management Systems
Excellent leadership, communication, and team-building skills
