Staff Software Engineer, Backend (Affiliate Platform) at Faraday Future | LAYIQ

Build and evolve backend services for affiliate domains: event tracking & attribution, commission rules and settlement, partner onboarding/management, and anti-fraud/abuse controls.
Design and maintain clear, versioned REST/gRPC APIs and partner integration patterns (e.g., webhooks/callbacks), with strong backward compatibility and well-defined contracts.
Implement high-throughput event ingestion and durable workflows using datastores + caching + messaging/streaming, ensuring correctness, scalability, and debuggability.
Ensure settlement-grade correctness for financially sensitive flows: idempotency, reconciliation, audit trails, safe retries, and clear state machines.
Improve performance and reliability: profiling, query optimization, caching strategies, load/capacity testing, latency/throughput tuning, and cost-aware scaling.
Operate services in production with strong observability and reliability practices (logs/metrics/traces, SLOs/alerts, incident response) and safe delivery (CI/CD, canary/blue-green releases, zero-downtime migrations).
Basic Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, or related discipline.
6+ years building and operating production backend systems for consumer, commerce, or growth platforms.
Strong proficiency in Java (Java 17+) and Spring Boot/Spring Cloud (or equivalent backend stack with ability to ramp quickly).
Solid distributed systems fundamentals: API design, consistency models, concurrency, resilience patterns, and production troubleshooting.
Production experience on cloud infrastructure (preferably AWS) with containers (Docker/Kubernetes) and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform/CloudFormation).
Strong data and messaging experience: relational/NoSQL databases, caching (Redis), and event streaming/queues (Kafka/Kinesis/RabbitMQ).
Demonstrated ability to improve system performance and reliability in production (e.g., latency reduction, throughput increases, capacity planning, incident-driven hardening).
Security, quality, and operational rigor: OAuth2/OIDC concepts, secrets/KMS, automated testing (unit/integration), code reviews, and clear documentation (design docs, API contracts).
