About the role
We are looking for a Lead Engineer - Solutions Engineering to join our Corporate Technology team. You will own and drive the internal ticketing platform - Arcesium’s internal ticketing and workflow engine powering request management, incident handling, and automation across the organization. This is primarily a hands-on engineering role with a technical leadership component. You will spend most of your time writing code, designing systems, and solving engineering problems, while also mentoring a small team and driving platform direction. The ideal candidate is a strong Java backend engineer comfortable working across the full stack, with a platform-ownership mindset - from code to production.
Responsibilities:
- Own the Ticketing platform end-to-end — architecture, development, deployment, and production operations.
- Build and maintain production-grade Java services, work with SQL Server for query optimization and schema migrations, and contribute to frontend changes when needed.
- Own CI/CD pipelines (Git, Maven/Gradle, GitLab CI) and manage containerized deployments on AWS (ECS, RDS, S3, CloudWatch).
- Build monitoring dashboards and alerting.
- Lead incident response, root cause analysis, and post-mortems.
- Ensure platform security — authentication, authorization, secrets management, cross-client isolation, and annual security upgrades.
- Mentor and guide engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and technical direction.
- Coordinate with cross-functional stakeholders on delivery and roadmap.
- Maintain technical documentation, runbooks, and architecture decision records.
Qualifications:
- Strong expertise in Java including concurrency, collections, streams, and JVM internals.
- Comfortable working with vendor or legacy codebases.
- Hands-on experience with query optimization, schema migrations (Liquibase), connection pool management, and performance monitoring.
- Proficiency in JavaScript and modern UI frameworks.
- Able to build, review, and debug frontend code when needed.
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines, containerized deployments (Docker, ECS), and AWS services.
- Solid understanding of RESTful API design and microservices patterns.
- Understanding of web application security — authentication, authorization, access control, and secrets management.
- Strong debugging skills with a structured approach.
- Ability to lead incident response under pressure.
- Ability to mentor engineers, drive technical decisions, and take ownership of platform initiatives.
- Strong communication skills for cross-functional collaboration.
