System Architecture & Design: Lead the design of cross-functional, enterprise-scale services. You will oversee how Java services interact with NoSQL backends and streaming pipelines to ensure seamless integration.
Technical Strategy: Partner with Product Management and DevOps to define long-term technical debt reduction and infrastructure scaling (Kubernetes/Cloud).
Operational Excellence: Own the observability strategy. You won't just use Loki or Grafana; you will define the SLIs/SLOs and architectural patterns that ensure 99.9% availability.
Mentorship & Influence: Act as a force multiplier. Review complex designs, lead "Communities of Practice" for Java performance, and foster a culture of clean code and TDD across multiple teams.
Innovation: Proactively identify bottlenecks in our Big Data processing (Hadoop/Kafka) or search indexing (OpenSearch) and spearhead the adoption of new patterns or tools.
Tech Stack
Our environment is a playground for engineers who love deep-system internals:
Core: Java (Expert level), Linux (Ubuntu, Rocky Linux).
Data & Streaming: Cassandra, MongoDB, Hadoop, Kafka.
Search: OpenSearch, Lucene.
Infrastructure: Kubernetes, Docker, Ansible, Jenkins.
Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Zabbix.
What you must have:
15+ years of professional software development experience, with at least 12 years focused on the Java ecosystem.
Architectural Leadership: Proven experience designing distributed systems that handle massive datasets and high-concurrency workloads.
Deep Networking Knowledge: Mastery of HTTP/S, TLS, TCP, and Thrift; ability to debug complex network latency or security issues.
Full Lifecycle Ownership: Experience taking a product from napkin-sketch architecture to global production deployment and long-term maintenance.
Advanced Technical Skills
JVM Internals: Expert-level knowledge of JMM (Java Memory Model), Garbage Collection tuning, and multi-threaded synchronization.
Scalability Patterns: Deep understanding of sharding, consistency models (CAP theorem), and distributed locking.
CI/CD & DevOps: Experience building or significantly optimizing CI/CD pipelines and container orchestration strategies.
Testing Philosophy: A "test-first" mindset that extends beyond Unit Tests to include contract testing, chaos engineering, and performance benchmarking.
The "Staff" Edge (Preferred):
Active contributor to open-source Java or Big Data projects.
Experience migrating monolithic legacy systems to modern, service-oriented, or mesh architectures.
Public speaking or technical writing (blogs, whitepapers) on complex engineering topics.
Salary/Rate Range: $180,000 -$200,000 CAD
