Job Description
Function:
Software Engineering → Backend Development
We are looking for a seasoned Engineering Manager with 10+ years of experience designing and building complex, mission-critical systems in regulated domains such as insurance, banking, payments, or lending. This role requires deep architectural expertise, strong systems thinking, hands-on engineering capability, and the ability to work across multiple domains and customer contexts. The ideal candidate has solved hard distributed systems problems, worked in high-growth startup environments, and is comfortable integrating modern AI and agentic AI capabilities into production-grade platforms.
The candidate will have responsibilities across the following functions:
Architecture and System Design:
- Own end-to-end system architecture for large-scale, distributed, event-driven systems.
- Drive architectural decisions around consistency models, scalability, observability, resiliency, and fault tolerance.
- Lead design reviews and establish architectural guardrails across teams.
- Design systems using patterns such as: Event Sourcing, CQRS, Domain-Driven Design (DDD), Hexagonal / Ports & Adapters architecture.
Complex Domain Modelling:
- Translate complex business domains (e. g., underwriting, risk, payments orchestration, lending lifecycle, claims processing) into clean, bounded contexts.
- Translate complex business domains (e. g., underwriting, risk, payments orchestration, lending lifecycle, claims processing) into clean, bounded contexts.
- Design for auditability, traceability, versioning, and regulatory compliance.
- Build extensible domain models that can evolve without breaking downstream systems.
AI and Agentic Systems Integration:
- Architect and build systems that integrate AI components into operational workflows.
Design agentic AI systems that:
- Interact with structured enterprise systems.
- Execute actions via controlled workflows.
- Operate within compliance and governance boundaries.
- Integrate LLM-driven components into event-driven backends with deterministic safeguards.
Hands-on Engineering:
- Contribute meaningfully to code in critical components.
- Establish engineering standards for: Code quality, Testing strategy (unit, integration, contract), CI/CD pipelines, and Infrastructure as Code
- Prototype new architectural approaches and validate trade-offs.
Cross-Domain and Customer Engagement:
- Work across multiple industry domains and customer contexts.
- Guide implementation teams during complex delivery programs.
Engage directly with enterprise customers to:
- Understand business and regulatory constraints.
- Translate requirements into technical blueprints.
- Support solution design and implementation.
Technical Leadership and Project Management:
- Lead large initiatives from concept to production.
- Break down complex architectural work into executable milestones.
- Coordinate across product, engineering, and customer stakeholders.
- Identify risks early and define mitigation strategies.
Requirements:
- 10+ years of software engineering experience.
- Significant experience building systems in at least one of: Insurance, Banking, Payments, Lending.
- Demonstrated experience designing and operating complex distributed systems.
- Deep practical expertise in: Event Sourcing, CQRS, DDD, and similar Hexagonal architecture.
- Experience designing event-driven systems using platforms such as Apache Kafka.
- Strong understanding of data consistency models, concurrency control, and transactional boundaries.
- Experience integrating AI/ML systems into enterprise software stacks.
- Prior exposure to agent-based or autonomous workflow systems.
- Hands-on coding experience in one or more modern backend ecosystems (e. g., Java/Kotlin).
- Experience working in startup environments with high ownership and ambiguity.
- Experience working with enterprise customers and multi-stakeholder environments.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience building ledger-based or state-replayable systems.
- Experience with workflow orchestration platforms such as Temporal.
- Experience building rule engines or policy execution layers.
- Exposure to cloud-native architecture on AWS / GCP / Azure.
- Experience designing multi-tenant SaaS systems.
- Familiarity with zero-downtime migrations and schema evolution strategies.
- Experience mentoring senior engineers and leading architecture councils.
Good to Have:
- Systems thinking over feature thinking.
- Bias for clarity in modelling complex domains.
- Strong opinions, loosely held, grounded in trade-off analysis.
- Ability to operate at both whiteboard and production-debug levels.
- Comfort working on deep, non-trivial problems that require iteration and rigour.
