Job Responsibilities :

You will be working with a team of software engineers to design, build, and deploy containerized and serverless applications on the cloud, supporting Razer's growing ecosystem of microservices, data platforms, and AI-driven services.

In this role, you will provide technical leadership in designing scalable, high-performance, secure, cost-efficient, and maintainable cloud-native systems that support both current and future business needs. You will play a key role in transforming our existing single-region, monolithic platform into a distributed, cloud-native microservices architecture, with a strong focus on multi-region deployments, data residency compliance, and modern service decomposition.

Essential Roles and Responsibilities

• Design, develop, test, and deploy microservice applications on AWS.
• Build and maintain scalable deployment platforms using Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud-native technologies on AWS or GCP.
• Develop, own, and maintain mission-critical, high-traffic Razer ID API microservices within your area of responsibility.
• Utilize containerization and Kubernetes to support scalable and reproducible deployments in a cloud environment (AWS or GCP).
• Collaborate closely with engineering, security, product, operations, and business stakeholders to ensure the architecture supports both functional and regulatory requirements.
• Establish engineering best practices, architectural standards, and code review processes to ensure consistent, high-quality implementations across services and regions.
• Mentor junior engineers and interns, fostering technical growth and engineering excellence within the team.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including PD, internal stakeholders to deliver high-quality solutions.
• Stay current with emerging technologies in cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, AI/ML, and web architecture, and evaluate their potential to improve the system design.
• Participate in production support and provide technical expertise for critical issues escalated by the Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team.
