• Build generic, modular API interfaces that support a wide range of future use cases, ensuring flexibility and reusability.
• Enhance system security, ensuring that external-facing capabilities are both powerful and secure.
• Collaborate with internal teams (Product, GTM, and other R&D groups) and external partners to develop solutions that align with business and customer needs.
• Take full ownership of features from design to production, ensuring reliability, maintainability, and performance.
• Contribute to the strategic vision for integration ecosystem, thinking beyond short-term tactical solutions.

Requirements:

• 5 + years of backend software development experience, with a strong foundation in Java and modern cloud-based architectures.
• Experience in both application and infrastructure development, with a deep understanding of scalable SaaS solutions.
• Strong proficiency in Java (Spring, etc.) and designing robust, maintainable APIs.
