Maximum Term/Fixed Term (Fixed Term)ABOUT THE JOB
We are seeking a Senior / Lead Engineer to play a critical role in transforming Nabserv from a base container image provider into a fully governed, self‑maintaining platform framework.
This role is for engineers who think and act like platform owners — people who care deeply about system hygiene, long‑term sustainability, and eliminating technical and operational debt rather than normalising it.
You will lead the design and evolution of Nabserv as a standardised microservice and API framework, with a strong focus on:
Automated OS and dependency patching
Built‑in security and compliance
Consistent patterns and guardrails
Operational excellence by default
You will work across teams to ensure Nabserv enables fast, safe delivery without sacrificing stability, maintainability, or security.
WHAT YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
Platform Ownership & Evolution
Act as a technical owner of the Nabserv platform, responsible for its design integrity, hygiene, and long‑term health.
Lead the transformation of Nabserv into a framework with strong conventions, opinionated defaults, and minimal misconfiguration risk.
Establish and enforce platform standards, patterns, and guardrails for microservices and APIs.
Automation & Hygiene First Engineering
Design and implement auto‑patching mechanisms for base images, dependencies, and platform components.
Eliminate manual and error‑prone operational practices through automation‑first design.
Drive initiatives that proactively reduce operational risk, toil, and maintenance overhead.
Intolerance for Technical & Operational Debt
Actively identify, challenge, and remediate technical and operational debt.
Set expectations across teams that “known broken or risky states are not acceptable”.
Balance delivery speed with sustainability — ensuring short‑term decisions do not create long‑term platform risks.
Architecture & Integration Leadership
Design and govern resource‑oriented APIs aligned to business capabilities.
Guide teams on REST, event‑driven, and asynchronous integration patterns.
Contribute to advanced platform initiatives such as:
Microservice consolidation
GraphQL platforms (Supergraph / Subgraph)
Cohesive service ecosystems aligned to domain boundaries
Engineering Excellence & Mentorship
Set a high bar for code quality, documentation, test coverage, and operational readiness.
Mentor engineers develop platform thinking, not just service delivery skills.
Promote best practices in CI/CD, DevOps, and production readiness.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Must‑Have Experience & Mindset
Proven experience as a Senior or Lead Engineer in complex, enterprise environments (5+ years).
Strong platform ownership mindset — you feel accountable for what happens after code is deployed.
Demonstrated low tolerance for messy systems, recurring incidents, and manual fixes.
Deep experience designing and operating microservices and API platforms at scale.
Strong background in automated CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure hygiene, and operational tooling.
Hands‑on experience with cloud platforms (AWS or Azure) and containerised environments.
Ability to design systems that are secure, patchable, observable, and maintainable by default.
Strong English communication skills in a global engineering environment
Technical Strengths
Proficiency in Java or other modern languages (Python, NodeJS, etc.)
Strong Computer Science fundamentals with a focus on scalable, maintainable systems.
Experience with:
RESTful API design
Cloud‑native architectures
CI/CD automation
Testing strategies (unit, integration, system)
Troubleshooting distributed systems
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE IN THIS ROLE
Nabserv evolves into a clear, opinionated framework, not a base container image provider.
Platform upgrades and patches are automated, predictable, and low‑risk.
Engineers consume the platform with confidence and consistency.
Technical and operational debt trends down over time, not up.
Teams move faster because the platform is clean, safe, and well‑owned — not despite it.
