• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to translate business requirements into scalable system designs
• Ensure infrastructure and application layers conform to Zero Trust principles and enterprise security models
• Deploy and manage containers using Kubernetes, and orchestrate APIs via API Gateways (Kong or similar)
• Work with data teams to model and manage schemas on Oracle and integrate with existing enterprise systems
• Establish best practices for identity and access management (IAM) across service boundaries
• Lead design reviews, mentor engineering teams, and set technical direction across multiple workstreams
• Serve as a thought leader and trusted advisor in architecture discussions, contributing to internal playbooks and knowledge sharing.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in software engineering with expertise in Java Spring Boot and cloud-native design
