TL;DR · Senior Full Stack Engineer

The Senior Full Stack Engineer for Platform Quality and Reliability is a hands-on individual contributor role focused on the operational health of the NBA platform. Rather than building new features, this person ensures that existing systems are production-ready by managing uptime, performance, and resilience across various services. Key responsibilities include developing automated testing infrastructure, managing logging and monitoring stacks, designing error handling patterns, and ensuring scalability as data throughput grows. The role involves coordinating with delivery pods to enforce quality gates and managing contractor resources. Candidates must be proficient in a polyglot stack including Java, Python, Node.js, and TypeScript, while utilizing AI productivity tools like Claude or Copilot. Technical requirements include experience with distributed systems, observability practices, and potentially Kubernetes, Kafka, and Azure DevOps pipelines within a regulated environment requiring strict audit trails.
