• Champion code quality, test coverage, and operational excellence through peer reviews and automated testing.
• Deploy and monitor services in cloud environments, ensuring reliability and performance.
• Continuously evaluate and adopt emerging technologies to improve team velocity and product impact.

Basic Qualifications

• 7+ years of hands-on software development experience in Java (11–21) or Python.
• Deep expertise in backend technologies: SQL/NoSQL databases, Elasticsearch, MongoDB, Spring Boot, REST/GraphQL APIs, and ORM frameworks like Hibernate.
• Strong proficiency in modern frontend technologies such as React, Redux, Vue, and TypeScript.
• Solid experience working in Agile/Scrum environments, ideally with globally distributed teams.
• Hands-on experience deploying applications on AWS, GCP, Azure, or Kubernetes (K8s).
• Familiarity with prompt engineering, LLM APIs, AI agents, and related tooling.
• Proficient in unit testing, integration testing, and Test-Driven Development (TDD).
• Excellent problem-solving, debugging, and performance-tuning skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Strong communication skills and demonstrated ability to engage with business stakeholders and product teams.
• Experience in data modeling, data warehousing (e.g., Snowflake, AWS Glue, EMR, Apache Spark), and working with data pipelines.
• Leadership experience—whether technical mentorship, team leadership, or managing critical projects.
• Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, or AWS CDK.
• Exposure to event-driven or reactive architectures (e.g., Kafka, Pub/Sub, or similar systems).
