• Frameworks/Others: Kubernetes, Kafka, Elasticsearch, Spark, NOSQL, RDBMS, Springboot, Gradle GIT, Ignite

What You’ll Do

• Design, develop, and maintain robust Python-based backend services and APIs.
• Build and integrate event streaming solutions using Apache Kafka for real-time data pipelines.
• Collaborate with Java teams to develop and maintain hybrid Python–Java microservices.
• Implement Test-Driven Development (TDD) practices and ensure high code coverage and maintainability.
• Design and optimize NoSQL data models (preferably Snowflake, MongoDB, or DynamoDB).
• Develop and automate CI/CD pipelines using DevOps tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Docker, Kubernetes).
• Collaborate with Data Engineering and AI teams to integrate analytics, ML, or Generative AI modules.
• Contribute to architectural design and performance optimization discussions.
• Optionally, support front-end development in React.js or Node.js when needed for full-stack integration.

What We Are Looking For

• 12+ years of professional experience in software development.
• Strong proficiency in Python (Flask, FastAPI, or Django frameworks).
• Solid understanding of event-driven systems and Apache Kafka.
• Hands-on experience with Java (Spring Boot or similar frameworks).
• Experience with DevOps tooling — Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, monitoring, and deployment automation.
• Expertise in NoSQL databases (Snowflake preferred; MongoDB, Cassandra, or DynamoDB acceptable).
• Practical experience with Test-Driven Development (TDD) and automated testing frameworks (pytest, unittest, JUnit).
• Strong grasp of software design principles, RESTful APIs, and microservices architecture.
