As a Staff Backend Engineer, you will be the primary architect and execution lead for the transformation of our Digital Credit Application. We are pivoting from a Salesforce-centric monolith to a high-performance, pluggable API ecosystem. Your mission is to decouple core adjudication logic, enable rapid A/B testing of the customer journey, and lay the technical foundation for future AI-driven chat and automated decisioning experiences. This is a high-impact role designed for a "builder" who can manage the duality of supporting a live Salesforce environment while aggressively migrating mission-critical services to a modern, micro services based backbone. Core Responsibilities - Architectural Migration: Lead the "Strangler Fig" migration of credit application logic out of Salesforce and into a scalable, cloud-native Java/Spring Boot microservices environment. - Pluggable Adjudication: Design and implement a modular adjudication layer that allows the business to swap or update credit rules and third-party data providers without impacting the core application flow. - API-First Ecosystem: Build and maintain robust, versioned REST/gRPC APIs that support a multi-channel experience (Mobile, Web, and future AI Chat interfaces). - A/B Strategy Enablement: Engineer the backend infrastructure to support dynamic routing and experimentation, allowing Product teams to test various application flows and UI treatments in real-time. - Operational Excellence & Ownership: Transition the platform by establishing rigorous standards for CI/CD, observability (OpenTelemetry), and automated testing. - AI Readiness: Partner with Data Science teams to ensure data pipelines and backend schemas are optimized for LLM integration and real-time credit decisioning models. - Provide technical mentorship and guidance to mid-level and senior engineers, fostering a culture of high engineering standards. Key Qualifications: - 10+ Years of Engineering Excellence: Proven track record in backend architecture, specifically within Fintech, Lending, or Credit systems. - Salesforce Integration Mastery: Significant experience integrating Salesforce with external AWS/Cloud microservices. You understand how to extract business logic from Apex/Flows into external services. - Modern Java Stack: Expert-level proficiency in Java 17/21, Spring Boot 3.x, and Spring Cloud. - Complex Adjudication & Rules Engines: Experience building or implementing rules engines (e.g., Drools, Camunda, or custom JSON-logic) for automated decisioning. - Event-Driven Design: Deep experience with Kafka or RabbitMQ for maintaining data consistency between the new API layer and legacy systems of record. - Contract-First Development: Strong belief in API contracts (OpenAPI/Swagger) to ensure seamless collaboration with frontend and mobile teams. - Migration Strategy: Demonstrated ability to migrate high-volume traffic from legacy systems to new stacks with zero downtime. - Excellent analytical skills and capability in identifying and resolving complex, cross-functional problems. - Strong written and verbal communication skills, able to present complex technical concepts clearly. - Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field.
