• Develop new features for our core commerce and customer engagement platforms. • Work directly with stakeholders to iterate and get rapid feedback on feature development. • Appropriately use AI tools like Claude Code and multi-agent workflows on a daily basis to assist with planning and implementation. • Ensure our critical transactional and event systems have high availability, durability, accuracy (since money is on the line), and remain highly performant. • Build and enhance admin tooling and workflows that enable our internal business stakeholders to be more self-sufficient. • Ensure features meet acceptance criteria and are supported by robust automated test coverage. • Integrate with third-party providers and tools (such as Stripe and Braze)—leveraging their existing functionality and working around their limitations. • Investigate, troubleshoot, and fix reported bugs and Sentry errors. • Collaborate with the Product Owner and Project Manager to break down business requirements into clear technical stories and tasks. • Partner with multiple in-house engineering squads and external providers to launch customer-facing solutions. • Review peer code and participate in our team’s on-call rotation to maintain system reliability. • Support and scale platforms across multiple countries.

• Lead architecture and technical strategy for Java-based application modernization and cloud transformation programs spanning multiple teams and workstreams. • Translate business goals into scalable Java/JVM architectures aligned with non-functional requirements, delivery constraints, and program-level outcomes. • Drive architectural consistency across teams using shared Java frameworks, libraries, standards, and design patterns. • Collaborate with data, platform, DevOps, and security architects to maintain a cohesive end-to-end cloud architecture. • Provide hands-on architectural guidance during delivery, including reviews of Java codebases, API designs, and system integrations. • Define reusable patterns and guardrails using Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, Jakarta EE, and related JVM technologies. • Apply strong engineering fundamentals—clean architecture, modular design, API-first development, testability, and observability—so solutions remain robust and maintainable. • Leverage AI-assisted development tools to accelerate design, coding, testing, documentation, and analysis at program scale. • Lead or co-lead discovery and roadmap efforts, translating requirements into integrated, testable backlogs with clear dependencies and non-functional requirements. • Use structured problem-solving to assess scope, risks, and trade-offs, clearly communicating options in terms of value, cost, and time-to-impact. • Communicate Java architecture decisions effectively to both technical and executive stakeholders. • Build trusted relationships with product, engineering, and technology leaders to shape cloud modernization strategies. • Ensure application architectures support predictable delivery, stable team velocity, and long-term maintainability. • Align multiple teams around shared contracts, APIs, and integration patterns (REST, event-driven, messaging). • Support Agile delivery at scale by ensuring architecture enables incremental delivery, strong definitions of done, and telemetry-driven improvements. • Mentor architects, senior engineers, and technical leads in Java architecture, system design, and JVM performance considerations. • Model pragmatic decision-making—knowing when to simplify and when advanced patterns or technologies are justified. • Participate in hiring, technical interviews, and development planning for future Java architects and technical leaders. • Contribute to business development by identifying opportunities to extend Java-based solutions across client organizations. • Partner with sales and account teams to define technical vision, architecture strategy, and solution options for new engagements. • Produce high-level designs, estimates, and architecture artifacts that clearly document assumptions, dependencies, and risks. • Build reusable assets such as Java reference architectures, starter repositories, accelerators, and templates. • Champion adoption of modern Java frameworks, cloud-native patterns, containerization, automation, and AI-assisted tooling. • Actively contribute to enablement initiatives and knowledge sharing across delivery teams.

• Create, develop, and enhance 3D game simulations and environments utilizing Panda3D for AI training purposes. • Work closely with cross-functional teams to convert requirements into effective technical implementations. • Develop, maintain, and troubleshoot Python and C++ codebases integrated with the Panda3D engine. • Participate in version control processes using GitHub to facilitate seamless team collaboration. • Guarantee cross-platform compatibility and optimal performance across various hardware setups. • Clearly document architectural choices, code, and workflows to support team development efforts. • Engage actively in code reviews, brainstorming, and team discussions, demonstrating strong verbal and written communication skills.

• Maintain and optimize a Ruby on Rails monolith • Develop REST APIs in Kotlin or Java • Ensure seamless feature integration in the platform • Collaborate with cross-functional teams on projects • Solve critical issues and improve system architecture
