Job Summary:

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer with strong Kubernetes orchestration experience and hands-on Scala expertise to work on large-scale distributed systems and big-data orchestration platforms. This role focuses on software engineering with a systems mindset, contributing to both existing Scala-based platforms and next-generation services built on Kubernetes. The position requires deep practical experience operating production systems at scale. This is not a pure DevOps or system administration role.

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and operate distributed systems deployed on Kubernetes
• Develop and maintain Scala-based backend services supporting orchestration platforms
• Support large-scale batch and big-data workloads running in Kubernetes environments
• Design and consume APIs across multiple internal platforms
• Participate in system design, architecture reviews, and production issue resolution
• Own services through the full lifecycle: development, deployment, and operations
• Collaborate across teams and platforms as business priorities evolve

Requirements and Qualifications:

• Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes orchestration
• Deployments, services, scaling, rollouts, and failure handling
• Helm-based deployments and configuration management
• Debugging and operating production Kubernetes systems
• Solid experience with Scala
• Ability to read, understand, and modify large existing codebases
• Experience building or maintaining backend services in Scala
• Strong understanding of distributed systems
• System design, tradeoffs, and failure modes
• Experience supporting real-world production systems
• Experience designing and integrating REST or service-based APIs

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with Go (Golang) for platform or infrastructure services
• Exposure to big-data orchestration or batch processing systems
• Experience working in multi-language environments (Scala, Go, Python, Java)
• Familiarity with cloud-native architectures and large-scale production platforms
