Software Engineer, Unified Gateway will join the Unified Gateway team to build and maintain a critical API Gateway platform serving as an HTTP-to-gRPC reverse proxy. This role involves developing infrastructure that accepts REST/JSON requests, translates them into Protocol Buffer messages, and manages downstream gRPC services while handling authentication, authorization, request mapping, and encryption. The engineer will focus on improving performance, reliability, and scalability for high-throughput production systems to support a three-sided marketplace. Key technical requirements include experience with Kotlin or other JVM languages, Vert.x, gRPC, REST APIs, Protocol Buffers, and service-to-service communication patterns. Candidates must possess deep knowledge of distributed systems concepts like load balancing and fault tolerance, while utilizing AI-assisted development tools to manage the request-processing pipeline and provide a robust platform that simplifies operations for other product engineers across multiple mobile and web platforms.
