This role is pivotal in building resilient, observable, and policy-compliant software systems that power mission-critical business functions. Leveraging technologies like Java, Python, Helm, Kubernetes, and event-driven architectures, you will deliver reusable software patterns with embedded controls to meet enterprise security, compliance, and risk management standards. The ideal candidate is a strong technical leader who can translate architectural vision into production-ready, scalable code with a focus on governance-as-code and automation. •Design, develop, and maintain high-scale, low-latency microservices in Java and Python that support enterprise platforms with stringent uptime, compliance, and observability requirements. •Engineer event-driven architectures using Kafka or equivalent messaging platforms to enable asynchronous workflows, decoupled service communication, and scalable event sourcing. •Develop and maintain Helm charts, Kubernetes manifests, and YAML-based configurations to deploy and manage cloud-native applications in production environments. •Design and implement enterprise-scale reusable service patterns, including service discovery, distributed configuration, fault tolerance, and global failover strategies. •Embed policy-as-code in CI/CD workflows using tools like OPA/Gatekeeper, Kyverno, or custom controls, enforcing security, compliance, and infrastructure governance at deploy time. •Partner with security, compliance, and risk teams to codify controls into automated pipelines, ensuring software systems are audit-ready by default. •Implement compliance-aware telemetry and alerting tied to controls such as data residency, encryption, access boundaries, and runtime immutability. •Drive the adoption of platform-wide architectural standards for service-to-service communication, identity propagation, rate-limiting, and secret injection. •Provide hands-on leadership in technical design reviews, deep dive troubleshooting, and performance tuning of distributed, containerized systems. •Author and maintain technical documentation, platform onboarding guides, and reusable code templates to enable faster and safer developer onboarding. **ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES** Following is a summary of the essential functions for this job.
