Establish engineering best practices around clean architecture, coding standards, testing, documentation, and continuous improvement.
Design and optimize RESTful APIs and backend integrations with internal and third-party systems.
Drive application performance, reliability, and scalability through proactive monitoring, profiling, and optimization.
Collaborate with DevOps teams to improve CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, infrastructure, and cloud-native development practices.
Oversee testing strategies, including unit, integration, contract, and performance testing, to ensure application quality and reliability.
Maintain comprehensive technical documentation, architectural decisions, and development processes to support long-term maintainability.

Strong proficiency with Java 17+, Spring Boot, Spring Framework, and enterprise application development.
Experience designing and building microservices architectures and distributed systems.
Strong understanding of RESTful APIs, asynchronous messaging, and backend integration patterns.
Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, including query optimization and database design.
Familiarity with caching technologies such as Redis and messaging platforms such as Kafka or RabbitMQ.
Experience with containerization technologies (Docker) and orchestration platforms (Kubernetes) is an asset.
Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), CI/CD pipelines, automated testing frameworks (JUnit, Mockito), and version control systems (Git).
Strong understanding of application security, authentication, authorization, and secure coding practices.
Excellent communication, leadership, collaboration, and documentation skills.
Experience developing enterprise-scale applications within agile software development environments.
Must be based fully onsite in our Waterloo, Ontario office.
Leadership in Agile Environments: Experience leading agile teams, facilitating technical discussions, managing sprint cadences, removing technical blockers, and driving engineering excellence.
