• Develop and evolve cloud-side microservices backed by PostgreSQL and RabbitMQ, keeping them performant and observable.
• Lead code reviews, set and uphold coding standards, and mentor engineers across levels.
• Own architectural decisions for your area and contribute to the long-term technical vision of ZPE Cloud.
• Participate in incident response and root cause analysis, and drive process improvements that raise team effectiveness.
   

We are looking for a senior engineer with strong ownership who can plan, document and then execute with quality as the priority. You should communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders and raise the bar for the people around you.

• Deep expertise in software architecture, scalability and system design.
