What I'm looking for
Senior Backend Engineer (8+ yrs) specializing in Java/Spring Boot microservices, Kafka-based event-driven systems, and cloud-native architecture on AWS/Kubernetes. Background spans fintech and payments (PayPal) plus enterprise financial platforms, with experience leading small engineering teams. Looking for a remote senior or lead backend role — ideally a product-focused team building distributed, high-scale systems, where I can own service architecture end-to-end and mentor other engineers.
