  • Lead the design and development of secure, scalable backend systems and infrastructure using AWS services.
  • Architect and optimize ETL workflows for efficient ingestion, transformation, and storage of large datasets.
  • Own end-to-end technical delivery: system design, implementation, integration, code reviews, and performance tuning.
  • Collaborate with architects and domain experts to define backend and infrastructure architecture.
  • Implement and maintain AWS infrastructure using CDK, ensuring security, scalability, and cost efficiency.
  • Build robust monitoring, logging, and alerting for production systems to ensure reliability and traceability.
  • Work with analytics and product teams to transform business requirements into actionable backend and data solutions.
  • Drive best practices in code quality, CI/CD automation, containerization, and documentation.
  • Solve complex technical challenges with structured thinking and a data-driven approach.
  • Mentor engineers, conduct design reviews, and contribute to engineering excellence across teams.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams; follow Agile/Scrum workflows (tickets, sprints, reviews).

Skills

Must have

  • Proven experience designing and implementing secure, scalable backend architectures using AWS services (S3, Lambda, DynamoDB, ECS, EC2, etc.).
  • Strong proficiency in Python development and object-oriented design principles.
  • Hands-on experience with Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as AWS CDK (TypeScript/Python) or Terraform.
  • Deep understanding of Docker, containerized development, and microservice deployment patterns.
  • Expertise in building REST APIs, microservices, and event-driven architectures.
  • Advanced knowledge of relational and non-relational databases, schema design, and query optimization.
  • Experience designing ETL/ELT pipelines, data modeling, and implementing data quality frameworks.
  • Familiarity with workflow orchestration tools like Argo Workflows.
  • Strong capability in CI/CD automation, GitLab, testing frameworks, and enforcing code quality standards.
  • Ability to translate complex business requirements into scalable technical solutions.
  • Collaborative experience working with frontend, data, QA, and product teams in cross-functional environments.

Nice to have

  • Knowledge of EKS (Kubernetes) and container orchestration.
  • Experience with search engines (e.g., OpenSearch).
  • Designing ETL pipelines using Athena, OpenSearch, or Redshift.
  • Exposure to Snowflake, data warehouses, Parquet file processing, and schema evolution.
  • Familiarity with monitoring and observability tools (Grafana, Tableau, OpenSearch Dashboards).
