đź“‹ Description
- • Lead the technical direction of a development team as an individual contributor, without direct people management responsibilities, while serving as the primary technical reference for architecture and engineering excellence.
- • Design, build, and scale high-reliability, high-performance microservices using Ruby on Rails and Node.js, ensuring maintainability, scalability, and resilience in production environments.
- • Define and communicate technical architecture decisions including service boundaries, API contracts, event-driven workflows using Kafka, and strategies for modernizing legacy systems.
- • Act as a core member of the company’s technical architecture team, contributing to cross-team decisions on domain boundaries, integration standards, observability, and system resilience.
- • Author and review technical RFCs and design proposals, clearly communicating complex technical trade-offs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders in Spanish and English.
- • Resolve the most complex technical problems in production, including debugging distributed systems, managing partial failures, and leading incident response efforts.
- • Conduct rigorous yet constructive code reviews and design reviews that elevate the technical quality and maturity of the entire engineering team.
- • Mentor engineers at all levels to grow their technical skills, foster autonomy, and cultivate the next generation of technical leaders.
- • Collaborate with Product and Engineering Management to translate business objectives into executable technical plans, with the discipline to say no to technically sound but misaligned initiatives.
- • Enforce engineering standards across testing, CI/CD pipelines, security practices, and AI-assisted development workflows with quality controls.
- • Leverage AI tools daily in development workflows to multiply team impact, critically evaluate AI-generated code, and help define team-wide practices for responsible AI adoption.
- • Operate services on Kubernetes within major cloud providers (GCP, AWS, or Azure), ensuring optimal resource utilization, scaling, and reliability.
- • Make informed architectural decisions that span frontend and backend systems, with solid practical knowledge of modern frontend frameworks like React and Next.js.
- • Ensure systems are observable through structured logging, distributed tracing, and comprehensive metrics, enabling proactive issue detection and resolution.
- • Contribute to the evolution of development practices by integrating AI-assisted coding with quality assurance, code review protocols, and team guidelines.
- • Work within a multicultural, dynamic, and ambitious environment focused on transforming logistics in Latin America through technology.
