Software Engineer 2

Feb 2022 – Apr 2024 · 2 yrs 2 mos · Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Improved billing payments availability from 99.99% to 99.999% by mitigating read-write database downtime by implementing a caching layer to bridge latency with the read-only replica. Conducted shadow testing to simulate outages and compare cache/read-only database responses with read-write replica, ensuring minimal impact on live traffic.
Resolved around 30 live issues, including 7-8 major and critical (P0/P1) issues, leveraging extensive domain and technical knowledge. Independently handled on-call duties on rotation, triaging, debugging, and fixing critical issues like pods getting unresponsive due to threads being blocked, database inconsistencies due to concurrency issues, fixing live database records etc.
Migrated API traffic from legacy synchronous service to latest reactor-based service. Documented differences in core logic, auth, validations, errors, logs etc., created sequence diagrams and fixed those differences. Shadow tested the changes against live traffic.
Contributed to design, implementation and testing of lots of different product features, which required digging into code and logs, documenting the behaviour and collaborating with different stakeholders to ensure success of those features.
