Lead design and scalability of Java-based backend services for a multi-tenant platform. Architect high-throughput, low-latency systems, integrate core data stores, modernize legacy Java components, improve observability and CI/CD, and mentor engineers while driving platform strategy and reliability.
WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING
Lead the design, development, and scalability of core Java-based backend services that power our multi-tenant platform.
Architect and optimize platform components to support high-throughput, low-latency, and mission-critical workflows.
Integrate and manage core data systems (e.g., relational DBs, Redis, Elasticsearch, LDAP) to ensure performance, availability, and fault tolerance.
Drive the modernization of backend services, refactoring legacy Java components and adopting modern patterns (e.g., reactive programming, event-driven architectures).
Champion best practices for Java development, testing, observability, and deployment in a distributed, microservices-based environment.
Collaborate cross-functionally with teams across DevOps, Security, SRE, and Application Engineering to build robust platform capabilities.
Evaluate and implement scalable solutions for authentication, authorization, tenant isolation, and configuration management.
Mentor engineers across teams in deep Java design principles, debugging complex issues, and engineering for reliability.
Develop and maintain platform APIs, service orchestration logic, and critical workflows that support core business operations.
Identify and remediate bottlenecks in Java services, JVM performance, GC tuning, thread management, and memory footprint.
Build automation and guardrails for developer productivity and service reliability (CI/CD pipelines, code linting, config-as-code, etc.).
Partner with architecture and leadership to drive long-term technical strategy and platform evolution.
WHAT YOU BRING
10+ years of experience in Software Engineering with a strong focus on Java, Spring Boot, and distributed system design.
Proven track record of building and maintaining scalable backend platforms supporting millions of users or high concurrency.
Deep understanding of the Java ecosystem, JVM internals, memory management, performance tuning, and multithreading.
Hands-on experience with data systems such as PostgreSQL/MySQL, Redis, Elasticsearch, and LDAP.
Experience designing and supporting multi-tenant architectures, including isolation, resource control, and config management.
Strong experience in building and managing RESTful APIs, microservices, and platform-level abstractions.
Familiarity with infrastructure and deployment environments including Kubernetes, Docker, and AWS (or other cloud providers).
Solid knowledge of observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry) and log management (e.g., ELK stack).
Experience integrating authentication and identity providers (LDAP, SSO, OIDC) into Java services.
Strong command of DevOps and automation practices (CI/CD, GitOps, IaC tools like Terraform, Helm, or Ansible).
Proven leadership in cross-team collaboration, mentoring, and influencing architectural direction.
Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
