Staff Software Engineer, Faraday Future

• Bachelor’s degree or above in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related discipline
• 7+ years building and operating production backend systems; 3+ years driving multi‑service technical delivery or architecture as an individual contributor
• Strong proficiency with Java (Java 17+), Spring Boot/Spring Cloud, distributed systems, and REST/gRPC API design
• Production experience on AWS (EKS/ECS, Lambda, API Gateway, CloudFront, S3, RDS/Aurora or DynamoDB, ElastiCache/Redis) and Infrastructure‑as‑Code; containerization with Docker/Kubernetes
• Data and messaging expertise with relational/NoSQL stores, Redis, and streaming/queues (Kafka/MSK or RabbitMQ/Kinesis)
• Reliability/performance/security mindset: SLO/SLA design, Open Telemetry observability, secure design (OAuth2/OIDC, secrets/KMS), and automated testing (JUnit, Test containers; contract/load testing)
• Clear technical communication; ability to produce API specs and interface agreements and to guide teams toward high‑quality, incremental releases

Desirable

• As a Staff Software Engineer (Backend) in our Crypto projects, your scope spans architecture, implementation, and operations for the BFF and core backend platforms supporting the official website and related platform systems
• You’ll drive architecture, implementation, and operations across microservices, APIs, messaging, data pipelines, and cloud infrastructure—setting engineering standards for reliability, scalability, security, and extensibility
• Platform Architecture & Ownership: Define domain driven, modular service architecture; establish API/BFF patterns, versioning, and contracts; produce ADRs and reference implementations
• Service Development & Operation: Build high performance services in Java 17+/Spring Boot/Spring Cloud; expose REST/gRPC (and WebSocket where needed); ensure backward compatibility and graceful degradation
• Data & Messaging: Model data in relational/NoSQL stores; apply caching (Redis); design event driven workflows with Kafka/MSK or RabbitMQ (saga/outbox, idempotency, retries, backpressure)
• Cloud & Delivery: Ship on AWS using Docker/Kubernetes and IaC (Terraform/CloudFormation); enable trunk-based development, blue/green or canary releases, and zero downtime migrations
• Reliability & Observability: Set SLOs/error budgets; instrument with Open Telemetry (logs/metrics/traces); lead incident response, capacity planning, and performance/load testing (k6/JMeter)
• Security & Compliance: Enforce OAuth2/OIDC, service to service auth (mTLS), secrets/KMS, and least privilege access; integrate security checks into CI/CD; maintain auditability
• Collaboration & Mentorship: Partner with Product, Web/Mobile, and Data teams to align interfaces and SLIs/SLOs; mentor engineers through design/code reviews
