What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a **Backend Software Engineer (SDE2) role** where I can build scalable, reliable, and high-impact systems while taking ownership of meaningful engineering problems. With 3+ years of experience at Walmart Global Tech and Flexport, I have worked on distributed systems, Java/Spring Boot microservices, Kafka, AWS, and backend integrations. I'm particularly interested in opportunities involving system design, event-driven architectures, APIs, and building resilient backend services.
