<div><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Full-time</span></strong></div>
<p><strong>What you’ll do </strong></p>
<p>You will be a core member of the <strong>Cloud Modernization Commando, </strong>an elite, high-impact engineering unit focused on accelerating cloud modernization across R&D teams in the organization. The team operates as a <strong>force multiplier</strong>, taking on complex, high-priority, and high-value cloud initiatives that require deep technical expertise, fast execution, and strong cross-team collaboration.</p>
<p>You will lead initiatives from a technical front, designing, building, and validating modern cloud patterns, unblocking critical initiatives, and shaping solutions that other teams can confidently adopt. This is not a long-term feature delivery role; stakeholders and missions change frequently. Instead, you will operate in a mission-driven model, engaging where impact is highest, creating momentum, and handing over sustainable ownership to product teams once the mission is complete.</p>
<p>You will work closely with architecture, platform, security, and product teams to modernize legacy systems, introduce cloud-native practices, and raise the overall cloud maturity across the R&D organization.<strong> </strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Who you are </strong></p>
<p>You are a seasoned Senior Backend Engineer with a strong sense of ownership and accountability. You are comfortable operating in fast-moving, complex environments and excel at turning ambiguity into concrete, executable solutions.</p>
<p>You bring deep backend, cloud, and architectural expertise, balancing long-term thinking with pragmatic delivery.</p>
<p>You embrace change and learn quickly, continuously adapting to new technologies, architectures, and organizational needs. You are curious by nature, proactive in closing knowledge gaps, and comfortable making informed decisions even when not all answers are known yet.</p>
<p>You thrive in cross-team environments, earning trust through technical excellence and clear communication. You influence design, implementation, and example rather than authority, and enjoy collaborating closely with product, architecture, security, and infrastructure teams to ensure alignment, adoption, and lasting impact.</p>
<p>You are impact-driven, not territory-driven, measuring success by how effectively you enable other teams and improve the organization’s cloud capabilities as a whole.</p>
<p><strong>Skills you are bringing with you</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>6+ years of experience with backend development, preferably C# and Node.js</li>
<li>6+ years of experience with advanced SQL (MSSQL/MySQL/PostgreSQL, etc.)</li>
<li>4+ years of experience with NoSQL database, preferably MongoDB</li>
<li>Experience with building SaaS platforms for cloud-based products, preferably AWS</li>
<li>Experience with Containers and Kubernetes (K8s), preferably EKS</li>
<li>Experience with Event-Driven Architecture</li>
<li>Experience with Message Brokers such as RabbitMQ/SQS/Kafka, preferably Kafka</li>
<li>Experience with Microservices development</li>
