About the Role

We are looking for a Backend Developer to join our small, agile team building and deploying an MVP application that facilitates client onboarding, real-time deployments, and data collection through responsive UI design. As an MVP, the data and services backend are expected to evolve with requirements.

The backend will be developed on Azure, leveraging a combination of Azure serverless components, AI services, ARM templates, and Python. The role involves system architecture, data modeling, and designing data and deployment workflows. Familiarity with the software development lifecycle (SDLC), secure data handling, and test automation is required.

The ideal candidate is a self-starter with a strong track record of curious exploration, able to work independently while leveraging AI-powered coding tools for rapid prototyping, falling back on strong development principles to review and productionalize AI-generated content.

Key Responsibilities

•Architect and implement scalable backends using Python and Azure-native services and serverless components (e.g., Azure Functions, Event Grid).

•Integrate and operationalize Azure AI Services (Cognitive Services, PromptFlow, Azure OpenAI, etc.) into backend workflows.

•Define and maintain data models across SQL and NoSQL databases (e.g., CosmosDB, PostgreSQL).

•Develop infrastructure-as-code (IaC) templates using ARM, Bicep, or Terraform.

•Build secure and scalable data pipelines for onboarding, processing, and analytics workflows.

•Implement authentication, authorization, and network security controls for Azure-hosted applications.

•Rapidly prototype backend features using AI coding tools, validating and hardening them for production.

•Write automated tests and contribute to CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Azure Pipelines).

•Collaborate closely with the front-end team, designers, and business stakeholders to ensure smooth API integrations and data flows.

•Monitor backend performance and troubleshoot production issues as they arise.
