Your Missions - Role & Responsibility

• Own the technical design and architecture of key ARO components, ensuring scalability, resilience, and maintainability.
• Lead the identification, triage, and remediation of security vulnerabilities across application code, dependencies, and infrastructure, including CVEs surfaced by SCA/SAST/DAST tooling.
• Define and drive secure coding standards and vulnerability remediation processes, including patching cadence, risk prioritization, and dependency upgrade strategy.
• Partner with security and compliance teams to address audit findings and penetration test results within agreed SLAs.
• Design, build, and evolve JMS-based messaging services and asynchronous processing flows that handle transactional financial data.
• Work closely with the transactional database layer, including schema design, query optimization, and data integrity for high-volume transactional workloads.
• Lead the design and deployment of services on AWS, applying sound practices for security, scalability, and cost efficiency.
• Drive and continuously improve CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions (or equivalent GitHub-based workflows), enabling fast, reliable, and automated delivery.
• Set and enforce coding standards, architectural principles, and best practices across the ARO engineering team through code reviews and technical guidance.
• Partner with product managers, architects, and other engineering teams to translate business requirements into robust technical solutions.
• Identify and resolve complex performance, concurrency, and reliability issues in production systems.
• Mentor and coach engineers at all levels, elevating the technical capability of the broader team.
• Contribute to technical roadmaps, evaluate new technologies, and drive modernization initiatives for the ARO platform.

Your Profile

• 8–12 years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong track record of designing and delivering large-scale, production-grade systems.
• Proficiency in developing and maintaining Java Spring Boot–based applications, REST APIs, and event-based architecture
• Hands-on experience designing and operating JMS-based (or similar message-broker-based) service architectures.
• Strong experience with transactional databases (e.g., Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQL Server), including transaction management, data consistency, and performance optimization.
