TL;DR · Distinguished MTS, Seller Engineering

As a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff in the C2C & Seller Experiences team at eBay, you will serve as a technical visionary responsible for defining and executing the architectural strategy that transforms high-scale legacy systems into modern, decoupled ecosystems. Your day-to-day involves leading the evolution of domain boundaries, implementing Federated GraphQL to enable rapid client-side development, and ensuring continuous compliance with BVSSH metrics. You must have extensive experience in Java, Kotlin, and Scala within the JVM ecosystem, alongside proficiency in Spring, Docker, Kubernetes, and modern web front-end technologies like React/Node. This role requires a proven track record of delivering large-scale enterprise solutions and expertise in service-based architectures, Domain-Driven Design, and reactive systems. You will work closely with multi-functional teams to solve complex challenges while fostering an environment of psychological safety and continuous learning.

What you'll do

  • Define technical strategies based on Outcome Hypotheses for high-scale legacy environments.
  • Lead architectural evolution from monolithic to modern distributed systems while ensuring business continuity.
  • Apply Domain-Driven Design to descale complex systems into clean, bounded contexts.
  • Architect Federated GraphQL to enable rapid and independent iteration of Web and Native Mobile teams.
  • Optimize system flow efficiency by identifying and alleviating systemic impediments for fast learning.
  • Cultivate a blameless culture that encourages experimentation and intelligent failure as learning opportunities.
  • Write code and build foundational frameworks to establish patterns during the transformation journey.

What we're looking for

  • 15+ years of broad engineering experience leading large-scale distributed systems.
  • Deep expertise in Java, Kotlin, and Scala within JVM ecosystem, plus modern web and mobile architectures.
  • Proven track record of delivering enterprise-wide solutions from design to production.
  • Solid understanding of Spring, Docker, Kubernetes, and continuous delivery practices.
  • Extensive experience with service-based architectures, Domain-Driven Design, and reactive systems.
  • Demonstrated success in modernizing monolithic systems and implementing Federated GraphQL.
  • Strong leadership and communication skills for both technical teams and executive stakeholders.
