• Identification of structural, design, and maintainability issues within the codebase
• Guidance on architectural improvements and future-proof design decisions
• Collaboration with engineering and QA teams to align on recommended changes
  

Technical Requirements

• Extensive experience designing and reviewing enterprise-grade backend systems built with Java and modern application frameworks
• Strong understanding of service-oriented and distributed system architectures, including data flow, scalability, and fault tolerance
• Familiarity with event-driven architectures and messaging systems used to support asynchronous communication
• Experience working with relational databases and evaluating schema design, data access patterns, and performance considerations
  Ability to assess frontend and mobile application architectures in the context of an end-to-end platform
• Comfort operating within structured development environments that use build tools, issue tracking, and version control to manage change
• Proven capability to communicate architectural findings clearly and guide teams toward practical improvements
  

Nice to have

• Experience with EV charging platforms or standards-based systems, including exposure to OCPP or OCPI
• Familiarity with full-stack ecosystems that include web and mobile application layers
