- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (front-end, data, product) to deliver cohesive, end-to-end solutions.
- Design and optimize RESTful and GraphQL APIs for high performance and scalability.
- Develop and manage databases (SQL and NoSQL) ensuring optimal data flow and efficiency.
- Contribute to pilot launches, gather feedback, and implement iterative improvements.
- Set up and manage CI/CD pipelines, monitoring systems, and containerized deployments.
- Ensure data security, authentication, and compliance best practices across services.
- Participate in architecture discussions, code reviews, and sprint planning to align with team objectives.
- Continuously explore emerging technologies to enhance scalability, automation, and reliability.
Required Skills and Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
- 4-8 years of hands-on experience in backend engineering or full-stack development, building production-grade systems.
- Strong proficiency in Python, Node.js, or Java, with practical experience in frameworks such as Django, FastAPI, Express.js, or Spring Boot.
- Deep understanding of microservices architecture, API design, and data integration.
- Experience with databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis).
- Hands-on experience in cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, Git workflows, and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/CloudFormation).
- Knowledge of message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS) and asynchronous event-driven systems.
- Strong awareness of security best practices, authentication (OAuth2, JWT), and API versioning.
- Exposure to data analytics or AI-driven systems is preferred.
- Self-starter with a builder mindset, ownership attitude, and adaptability in a fast-paced product setup.
What We Offer:
- Bootstrapped and financially stable with high pre-money evaluation.
- Above-industry remunerations.
