Ensure 1Stack readiness, including containerization of legacy applications,



adoption of Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and automated schema deployments using Liquibase.
Guide the modernization of the tech stack, including migration from monolithic Angular to EKO-based Micro Frontends, consolidation of databases to Postgres, and optimization of Kafka streaming pipelines.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align architecture with enterprise standards and business goals.

Preferred candidate profile

8+ years of experience in software engineering, with at least 3 years in a technical leadership role.
Expertise in Java, React JS/ Angular, Spring Boot, Kafka, Redis, Postgres, and MongoDB.
Robust experience with CI/CD pipelines, unit testing frameworks, and code quality tools (e.g., SonarQube, SonarLint).
Proven track record in leading modernization efforts, including cloud-native architectures, microservices, and containerization.
Hands-on experience with observability tools (e.g., Splunk, Datadog, Recent Relic) and monitoring streaming systems.
Familiarity with feature flagging, config-driven development, and dynamic deployment strategies.
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
