TL;DR · Distinguished MTS, Seller Engineering

As a Distinguished MTS - Seller Engineering, you will join the C2C & Seller Experience Engineering team to serve as a lead technical visionary for global commerce platforms. You will be responsible for the end-to-end architectural integrity and technical strategy of the seller journey, specifically transforming high-scale legacy monolithic environments into modern, decoupled ecosystems. Your daily work involves defining technical strategies based on outcome hypotheses, leading domain-driven design efforts, and architecting for flow efficiency. You will utilize a technical stack including Java, Kotlin, Scala, React, Node, iOS, and Android, while leveraging Spring, Docker, Kubernetes, and Federated GraphQL. The role focuses on solving the complex business problem of descaling coupled systems into clean, bounded contexts to improve maintainability and deployment safety for professional and C2C sellers.

What you'll do

  • Define technical strategies based on Outcome Hypotheses and BVSSH metrics to prioritize business value and developer joy.
  • Lead the architectural roadmap to transform monolithic commerce systems into a modern, distributed ecosystem.
  • Apply Domain-Driven Design to descale complex systems into clean, bounded contexts that minimize cognitive load.
  • Architect Federated GraphQL layers to decouple Web and Native Mobile teams from backend release cycles.
  • Optimize system flow efficiency by identifying and alleviating systemic impediments like waits and handoffs.
  • Write production code and build foundational frameworks to establish technical patterns for global engineering teams.
  • Mentor the engineering community on sophisticated technical issues and modern software quality practices.

What we're looking for

  • Master’s degree in Computer Science or a Bachelor’s degree with equivalent high-level architectural experience.
  • 15–20+ years of relevant engineering experience leading large-scale distributed systems.
  • Proven track record of delivering large-scale enterprise solutions from design through production.
  • Full-stack fluency in Java, Kotlin, and Scala within the JVM ecosystem, plus React/Node and Native Mobile (iOS/Android).
  • Solid understanding of Spring, Docker, and Kubernetes with a focus on automated testing and continuous delivery.
  • Deep experience with service-based architectures, Domain-Driven Design, and reactive/event-driven systems.
  • Demonstrated success modernizing monolithic enterprise systems and implementing Federated GraphQL for client-backend decoupling.
  • Proven experience mentoring a broad engineering community and communicating complex problems to both engineers and executives.
