Working closely with cross-functional teams, you will contribute to both backend and frontend engineering using modern frameworks and cloud technologies. The position requires strong hands-on engineering expertise combined with architectural thinking and a product mindset. You will also influence DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure reliability at scale. This is an opportunity to work in a fast-paced, globally distributed engineering environment where innovation, quality, and collaboration are central.

Accountabilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable web applications using Python frameworks such as FastAPI, Django, or Flask, alongside modern frontend technologies.
• Build and optimize backend services, REST/GraphQL APIs, and integration layers for complex systems.
• Develop responsive and performant frontend applications using JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks (React, Angular, or Vue).
• Architect and implement microservices-based solutions with a focus on scalability, performance, and maintainability.
• Ensure system reliability, security, and observability through monitoring, logging, and best engineering practices.
• Contribute to DevOps workflows, including CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker), and cloud deployments (AWS).
• Collaborate with engineering, product, and QA teams to deliver end-to-end solutions and participate in code reviews and technical mentoring.

Requirements:

• 11+ years of experience in full-stack or backend software engineering roles.
• Strong expertise in Python development using frameworks such as FastAPI, Django, or Flask.
• Proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and modern frontend frameworks (React, Angular, or Vue).
• Solid experience in API design, development, and integration (REST and/or GraphQL).
• Strong understanding of microservices architecture, clean architecture principles, and scalable system design.
• Hands-on experience with AWS cloud services and DevOps practices.
• Practical knowledge of Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and modern deployment workflows.
• Experience working with relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL systems (MongoDB, Redis).
• Understanding of authentication and security standards such as OAuth2 and OpenID Connect.
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively in cross-functional and distributed teams.

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation package aligned with senior-level expertise.
• Flexible work arrangements, including remote or hybrid options (depending on project needs).
• Health and wellness benefits, including medical coverage where applicable.
• Opportunities to work on global, large-scale digital engineering projects.
• Access to continuous learning, upskilling programs, and technical certifications.
• Collaborative, engineering-driven culture with strong emphasis on innovation and autonomy.
