In This Role, Your Responsibilities Will Be:
- Design, build, and maintain Python-based REST APIs and backend services, using FastAPI or Django REST Framework.
- Design and expose GraphQL APIs where product and asset data consumption patterns require flexible, client-driven queries, and maintain and evolve existing GraphQL schemas.

- Integrate with Zoomin and other third-party documentation vendor APIs, managing content delivery, publication workflows, and metadata synchronization between internal systems and external platforms.
- Build and maintain React.js front-end components and interfaces that surface product and asset data to end users, including state management (Redux or Context API) and responsive UI design.
- Apply the full SDLC to deliver solutions across the product and asset portfolio, from requirements analysis through testing, deployment, and production support.
- Troubleshoot and resolve production issues across Python APIs, PostgreSQL, and React layers, conduct root cause analysis, and implement durable performance improvements.
- Collaborate with Product Owners, System Analysts, QA teams, and the backend developer to deliver platform features.
- Maintain API contracts, data models, integration guides, and runbooks for owned services.
- Participate in Agile ceremonies and CI/CD delivery practices using Azure DevOps.
Who You Are:
You analyze multiple and diverse sources of information to define problems accurately before moving to solutions.
