- Experience with API design, service contracts, and building high-throughput, low-latency services.
- Familiarity with cloud-native development in environments like AWS, GCP, or Azure.
- Solid experience in containerization (Docker) and orchestration tools like Kubernetes.
- Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and deployment strategies (blue-green, canary releases).
- Understanding of observability practices, including logging, monitoring, and distributed tracing.
- Exposure to search technologies like ElasticSearch.
- Solid foundation in data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving.
- Working knowledge of secure coding practices, authentication/authorization mechanisms.




- Exposure to AI-assisted development tools and basic understanding of integrating AI-driven components.

What would you do here:

- Design and build scalable, reliable backend systems that power core enterprise platforms.
- Develop and maintain microservices and event-driven architectures, ensuring systems are loosely coupled and highly available.
- Take ownership of end-to-end system development, from design to deployment and production support.
- Ensure systems are production-ready by implementing strong observability, monitoring, and alerting mechanisms.
- Optimize system performance by improving latency, throughput, and resource utilization.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define APIs, service contracts, and data models.
- Implement resilience patterns such as retries, circuit breakers, and graceful degradation.
- Contribute to and improve CI/CD pipelines and deployment processes for faster and safer releases.
- Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code, following best engineering practices.
- Use production data and metrics to continuously improve system reliability and performance.
- Participate in code reviews, technical discussions, and architectural decisions.
- Support and mentor team members, contributing to overall engineering excellence.
- Explore opportunities to integrate automation or AI-driven enhancements where applicable.
