Job details:
mthree is seeking a Lead Software Engineer to design, build, and evolve high-throughput, low-latency, cloud-native platforms for our Client. This role requires deep hands-on engineering expertise, strong architectural judgment and the ability to prototype, experiment and productionize modern solutions across AWS, Kubernetes (EKS), Java microservices and Agentic AI. You will operate as a technical owner—driving solution design end-to-end, mentoring engineers and setting engineering standards while remaining deeply hands-on with code, infrastructure and automation.
Key Responsibilities: Architecture & Solution Design
• Lead the architecture and solutioning of distributed, low-latency, high-TPS systems running on AWS and EKS.
• Design microservices-based Java platforms optimized for performance, resiliency, scalability and operability.
• Make architectural trade-offs across compute, networking, data and observability layers with measurable SLAs/SLOs.
• Own non-functional requirements (latency, throughput, availability, cost efficiency).
Required Qualifications Core Technical Skills
• 10+ years of hands-on software engineering experience
• Strong Java expertise with microservices architectures
• Proven experience building high-throughput, low-latency systems
• Extensive AWS experience, including multiple production deployments on EKS
• Deep understanding of:
o Distributed systems
o Concurrency, performance tuning and scalability
o Resiliency and fault tolerance
Cloud & Platform
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes (EKS) in production
• Strong knowledge of AWS networking, security and scaling patterns
• Experience designing cloud-native, event-driven or service-based platforms
AI & Modern Engineering
• Experience using Generative AI / Agentic AI in engineering workflows
• Hands-on usage of GitHub Copilot or similar AI-assisted development tools
• Experience integrating AI into developer tooling or platforms (preferred)
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience in payments, fintech, or high-volume transaction systems
• gRPC, async messaging, or streaming platforms experience
• Observability and SRE-style practices
• Experience modernizing legacy platforms to cloud-native architectures
What Success Looks Like
• Designs are simple, scalable and measurable
• Systems meet strict latency and availability SLAs
• Teams move faster through automation and AI augmentation
• Engineers trust your technical judgment and follow your lead
• You prototype first, validate early and productionize responsibly
