- Optimize rule execution for low latency and high throughput, including management of rule salience, agenda groups, rule flows, and conflict resolution

- Ensure decisions are deterministic, explainable, and auditable, meeting regulatory and audit requirements

- Contribute to the overall decisioning and rules architecture, designing rule sets for reusability, versioning, and controlled rollout

- Participate in design reviews and technical discussions related to rule design and platform evolution

- Develop unit tests and scenario‑based tests to validate rule behavior across multiple decision paths

- Troubleshoot production issues related to rule execution and support deployments across development, QA, and production environments





- Act as a subject‑matter expert for Drools and business rules best practices, mentoring junior engineers

- Establish and enforce standards for rule authoring, documentation, testing, and maintainability

Required Qualifications

- 7+ years of software engineering experience

- 5+ years hands‑on experience with Drools / KIE

- Strong proficiency in Java

- Experience in building a lightweight orchestration layer using Apache Pekko is a plus

- Deep experience with:

- Stateless and stateful KIE sessions

- Rule performance tuning and debugging

- Experience building or supporting policy‑driven or decisioning systems

- Strong understanding of business rules management systems (BRMS)

- Exposure to cloud platforms and CI/CD pipelines

What Success Looks Like

- Business policies are accurately captured as maintainable Drools rules

- Decisions are rapid, consistent, and explainable

- Rule changes can be made confidently without impacting platform stability
- The rules layer is reliable, scalable, and regulator‑ready
