Platform Engineer

Lead the design, development, and evolution of full‑stack software solutions for Store and POS platforms.

Serve as the technical leader for a team of developers, providing hands‑on guidance, mentorship, and code review across all phases of the SDLC.

Drive strong engineering practices including clean architecture, test automation, secure coding, and maintainable design.

Make and guide technical decisions that balance delivery speed, solution quality, and long‑term sustainability.

Promote a language‑agnostic, OO‑driven approach, enabling teams to work effectively across backend, frontend, and client‑side technologies.

Design and build backend services, APIs, and integration layers that support reliable transaction processing and in‑store workflows.

Contribute to solutions supporting in‑store mobile applications and store‑resident systems.

Ensure solutions are designed for store environments, including high availability, low latency, intermittent connectivity, and operational resilience.

Partner with Solution and Enterprise Architects to implement approved architecture patterns, standards, and reference designs.

Work closely with Product Owners and Project Managers to understand business requirements and translate them into clear technical designs.

Provide technical input into backlog refinement, estimates, delivery planning, and dependency management.

Act as a trusted technical partner to business stakeholders, clearly communicating constraints, trade‑offs, risks, and implementation options.

Support predictable, high‑quality delivery aligned with both short‑term priorities and long‑term platform direction.

Lead and continuously improve end‑to‑end SDLC practices, from design and implementation through testing, deployment, and production support.

Establish and uphold engineering standards for source control, branching strategies, automated testing, and documentation.

Ensure solutions are well‑documented and support effective onboarding and long‑term maintainability.

Collaborate with platform and Dev Ops teams to enable CI/CD pipelines that support rapid and safe application delivery.

Ensure systems are built with operability in mind, including deployment readiness, monitoring, and rollback capability.

Contribute to deployment strategies such as phased rollouts and controlled releases appropriate for store‑critical systems.

Design systems with a strong focus on performance, reliability, and transaction integrity.

Support incident triage and root‑cause analysis, driving code‑level and design improvements to prevent recurrence.

Encourage observability practices that provide visibility into application behaviour across store locations.

Ensure solutions comply with enterprise architecture, security, and governance standards.

Provide practical feedback into standards and patterns based on hands‑on development experience.

Strong, hands‑on experience as a full‑stack software engineer and technical leader.

Deep understanding of object‑oriented design, application architecture, and modern engineering practices.

Proven ability to lead teams through the full SDLC, delivering high‑quality, production‑ready software.

Experience working with integration‑heavy, distributed, and business‑critical systems.

Strong understanding of performance optimization, resiliency patterns, and error handling.

Experience with one or more object‑oriented languages, such as Java (Spring Boot) and C++

Experience with frontend or client‑side development using frameworks such as:
Angular or Flutter

Ability to learn and adapt quickly to new languages and frameworks is more important than deep expertise in any single stack.

Working knowledge of CI/CD practices and Dev Ops tooling as they relate to application delivery.

Experience developing applications that run in containerized or…
