• Proven experience building scalable REST APIs and cloud-native microservices.
• Strong knowledge of relational (SQL Server, Postgres) and NoSQL databases (MongoDB, Elasticsearch).
• Experience with message brokers (Kafka, RabbitMQ) and event-driven architectures.
• Hands-on experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Experience with cloud platforms (Azure or AWS).
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across time zones.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with front-end frameworks like React/TypeScript.
• Understanding of LLMs, prompt engineering, or ML integration.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to and lead components of cloud-native, scalable, multi-tenant architecture.
• Design and develop robust, scalable backend services and APIs using Java, Kotlin, TypeScript, or C#.
• Partner with product, design, and engineering leaders to shape technical solutions to business problems.
• Solve complex problems in distributed systems, data infrastructure, observability, performance, and reliability.
• Contribute to the design and implementation of AI/LLM-powered features and services.
• Guide and support other engineers, lead technical design reviews, contribute to team best practices, and champion engineering excellence.
• Take features from concept to production with thoughtful design, testing, instrumentation, and supportability.
• Evaluate new technologies and tools, prototype solutions, and share insights with the team.
• Drive initiatives end-to-end, from problem framing and design through implementation, rollout, and long-term support.
• Apply AI-first development practices to improve engineering velocity and quality.
• Use AI-assisted development tools (e.g., code generation, copilots, agentic workflows) to accelerate design, implementation, and debugging.
• Leverage AI to rapidly prototype solutions, validate ideas, and reduce time from concept to production.
• Apply AI in testing workflows (test generation, edge case discovery, regression analysis) to improve coverage and reliability.
• Use AI-driven approaches for code review, refactoring, and documentation to maintain high engineering quality.
• Integrate AI into observability and incident response workflows (e.g., anomaly detection, root cause analysis).
• Exercise sound engineering judgement when using AI-generated outputs, ensuring correctness, security, and maintainability.
