Key Responsibilities:

  • Design, build, and maintain scalable, cloud-native services and APIs using Python and AWS.
  • Experience with SageMaker.
  • Collaborate with Product, Architecture, CloudOps, and Engineering teams to deliver reliable solutions that address business requirements.
  • Implement backend services using Python frameworks such as Flask, Django, and AsyncIO.
  • Build and operate systems using AWS services including Lambda, ECS/Fargate, EKS, S3, RDS, Aurora, Step Functions, and related services.
  • Contribute to system and application design, producing clear technical documentation and participating in design reviews.
  • Ensure high standards of code quality, test coverage, and maintainability, including writing unit and integration tests.
  • Participate in code reviews and provide constructive feedback to peers.
  • Identify performance bottlenecks and implement performance tuning and reliability improvements.
  • Support integration of data pipelines and downstream consumers (including ML-enabled components where applicable).
  • Perform proof-of-concept (POC) work to evaluate new technologies or approaches.
  • Work closely with Product teams to translate business requirements into technical solutions.
  • Mentor junior engineers and help establish engineering best practices.
  • Drive continuous improvement in development workflows, tooling, and system efficiency.

Key Skills:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field; Master's degree preferred.
