• Write complex SQL queries, optimize database performance, and support data modeling and integration.
• Modernize legacy applications by migrating existing systems and integrating them with cloud-native platforms.
• Build and enhance frontend components using modern JavaScript frameworks as needed.
• Develop and maintain applications on AWS and/or Google Cloud Platform, following cloud-native architecture and development practices.
• Collaborate with product managers, architects, and engineering teams to define requirements and deliver solutions.
• Troubleshoot technical issues, improve application performance, and ensure code quality, scalability, and maintainability.
• Work independently in a fast-paced environment, adapt to evolving requirements, and quickly learn new technologies.

Experience

• 10+ years of hands-on software engineering and application development experience.
• Strong experience in Python development, backend engineering, API development, and SQL.
• Proven experience developing and deploying applications on AWS and/or Google Cloud Platform.
• Experience modernizing legacy applications, migrating workloads to the cloud, and integrating legacy systems with modern platforms.

Education

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Additional Qualifications

• Google Cloud Platform experience is preferred; AWS experience is also highly relevant.
• Exposure to distributed systems, microservices architecture, and scalable application design.
• Experience working with enterprise legacy applications and transitioning them to modern cloud platforms.
• Exposure to AI-enabled or data-driven applications is a plus; direct AI/ML model development is not required.
