• Ensure AI components are reliable, scalable, and aligned with system architecture

Technical Leadership

Data & Integration

• Ensure efficient integration between services, APIs, and external systems

Communication & Mentoring

• Support proposals and client discussions

• Mentor engineers and technical leads

• Promote best practices and standards

To be successful at this role you need the following (hard and soft skills):

• 6+ years of experience in Software development

• Proven experience as Senior/Lead Engineer or Software Architect

• Deep expertise in Java/Spring Boot, Microservices architecture and Event-driven systems (Kafka, messaging)

• Strong understanding of System/API design (scalability, resilience, performance)

• Strong technical leadership and decision-making skills

• Excellent communication skills

• Ability to lead across teams
