TL;DR · Distinguished MTS Seller Engineering

As a Distinguished MTS - Seller Engineering, you will serve as a lead technical visionary within the C2C & Seller Experiences team. You will be responsible for the end-to-end architectural integrity and strategy of the seller journey, transforming high-scale legacy environments into modern, decoupled ecosystems across Web Front-End, Native Mobile (iOS and Android), and Backend architectures. Your daily work involves defining technical strategies based on outcome hypotheses, implementing Domain-Driven Design to descale complex systems, and utilizing Federated GraphQL for client-oriented decoupling. You will actively write code and build foundational frameworks while managing a transition from Scala toward Kotlin and Java within the JVM ecosystem. The role requires expertise in Spring, Docker, and Kubernetes to solve the challenge of modernizing monolithic commerce systems into distributed architectures that improve maintainability and deployment safety for global sellers.

What you'll do

  • Define technical strategies based on outcome hypotheses and measurable business value metrics.
  • Lead the architectural transformation of monolithic legacy systems into modern, distributed architectures.
  • Apply Domain-Driven Design to descale complex systems into manageable, bounded contexts.
  • Architect Federated GraphQL layers to decouple web and mobile front-ends from backend release cycles.
  • Optimize system flow by identifying and removing technical impediments to increase speed of learning.
  • Establish "prior art" patterns and foundational frameworks through hands-on coding and development.
  • Mentor a global engineering community on complex technical issues and architectural best 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 the delivery of services and large-scale distributed systems.
  • Proven track record of delivering large-scale enterprise-wide solutions from design through production.
  • Full-stack fluency in Java, Kotlin, Scala, React/Node, and Native Mobile (iOS/Android) architectures.
  • Solid understanding of Spring, Docker, Kubernetes, automated testing, and continuous delivery.
  • Deep experience with service-based architectures, Domain-Driven Design, and reactive or event-driven systems.
  • Demonstrated success in modernizing monolithic enterprise systems and implementing Federated GraphQL for client-backend decoupling.
  • Strong communication skills to frame complex problems for both engineers and executives.
