- Strong understanding of RESTful API design, relational databases (SQL) and large‑scale backend operations
- Hands on with containerization and orchestration technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) in production
- Experience using version control (Git) and agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) in global, cross team environments
- Excellent analytical, problem-solving, communication and influencing skills, with the ability to engage with senior stakeholders and technical leaders
- Demonstrated technical leadership and mentorship—capable of guiding others to drive technical excellence and elevate team delivery

- Partner with cross functional leaders (product, UX, QA, architecture) to shape roadmap, align technical strategy with business priorities and ensure rapid but sustainable delivery
- Establish engineering best practices: code reviews, technical mentorship, continuous improvement, testing frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, observability and platform health
- Own cloud-native delivery (AWS, GCP, Azure), infrastructure-as-code, monitoring and operational resilience for mission critical capabilities
- Lead risk identification and mitigation, optimize system performance, ensure scalability and reliability across multi‑tenant enterprise environments
- Act as a mentor and thought leader, enabling engineers across teams, contributing to onboarding, knowledge sharing, industry innovation, and engineering culture
Our take
Anaplan is an AI-driven planning platform designed to do more than just plug gaps (it truly replaces the tangled web of legacy tools for the likes of SAP, Oracle, and IBM). Designed as the only "AI-driven scenario planning and analysis platform", it brings together data, modeling, insights, and action across a range of industries. And instead of managing isolated spreadsheets and disconnected tools, it allows business users to break down silo and collaborate fully.
Its setting itself apart with its expansive, adaptable reach too. From out-of-the-box applications tailored for finance, supply chain, HR, and more, to enterprise-grade capabilities like predictive and generativer AI, data integration, and real-time modeling, it offers organizations the tools they need to outpredict, outplan, and outperform.
Anaplan is on a roll too, with annual recurring revenue topping $1B, over 2,400 customers, and fast-growing business lines in finance, sales & marketing, and supply chain, the company is showing what a modern planning platform can really do. And its $500M innovation roadmap (packed with AI-powered tools, scenario planning, and new enterprise applications) means Anaplan is ready to shape the future of decision-making.
