● Platform Ownership:
Oversee the architecture, implementation, and evolution of core platform components including authentication, user management, data pipelines, and integration layers.

● API & Microservices Development:
Design and implement RESTful APIs and microservices for seamless integration between data, AI, and application layers.

● Data Modeling & Optimization:
Define and maintain robust database schemas, optimize queries, and ensure high performance and data integrity in PostgreSQL and related data stores.

● DevOps & Scalability:
Work with DevOps to ensure CI/CD pipelines, containerized deployments (Docker, Kubernetes), and performance monitoring are in place.

● Technical Leadership:
Mentor and guide a small team of developers, review code, enforce best practices, and support technical growth within the team.

● Collaboration:
Partner closely with AI, product, and design teams to translate business needs into scalable,



reliable technical solutions.

● Quality & Security:
Drive high engineering standards with focus on testing, security, documentation, and maintainability.

● Experience: 6–9 years of experience in software development, with at least 2+ years in a technical leadership or architectural design role.

● Technical Skills:

○ Strong programming expertise in Python (FastAPI, Flask, or Django).

○ Solid understanding of PostgreSQL – schema design, indexing, query optimization, and stored procedures.

○ Proven experience in designing and implementing RESTful APIs and microservices architecture.

○ Hands-on experience with cloud environments (AWS / GCP / Azure).

○ Knowledge of data modeling, caching strategies, and distributed system design.

○ Familiarity with CI/CD tools, containerization (Docker), and orchestration (Kubernetes).

○ Understanding of security best practices, scalability principles, and performance optimization.

● Soft Skills:

○ Strong problem-solving and analytical abilities.

○ Excellent leadership, mentoring, and communication skills.

○ Startup mindset — proactive, collaborative, and outcome-driven.

○ Ability to balance technical depth with delivery speed and product needs.

Preferred Qualifications

● Prior experience in building or scaling SaaS-based data or analytics platforms.

● Exposure to event-driven architectures, message queues (Kafka/RabbitMQ), and API gateways.

● Familiarity with geospatial systems, data pipelines, or AI-driven applications.

● Experience with system-level architecture documentation and tech standardization across teams.
