Role - Principal Backend Engineer / Architect Python, SQL & Computation Engines Company: Tricon Solutions - www.triconitsolutions.com Experience: 10- 20 Years Location: India Work From Home (WFH) Employment Type: Full-Time Industry: IT / Software Product Development Domain: Enterprise Finance & Accounting Technology
About the Opportunity -
Tricon Solutions is hiring an experienced Principal Backend Engineer / Architect for an exciting product development opportunity with one of our clients building a next-generation, AI-powered enterprise finance and accounting platform.The platform integrates data from enterprise systems such as ERP, CRM, billing, and HR applications, transforming complex financial and operational information into accurate, actionable, and auditable intelligence.We are looking for a highly accomplished, hands-on engineer with deep expertise in Python backend development, advanced SQL, computation-intensive systems, and configuration-driven architecture.This is an opportunity to play a key role in building a sophisticated enterprise technology product from the ground up, taking ownership of critical backend architecture, computation services, and scalable platform components.
This is not a conventional Python API development or pure architecture role. We need someone who has personally designed and developed complex calculation engines, pricing systems, billing platforms, risk analytics engines, rules-based computation frameworks, or comparable data-intensive applications.
Design systems supporting multi-tenant SaaS, single-tenant SaaS, and customer-hosted deployment models.
Work with AWS, Azure, GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform.
Establish architectural patterns, coding standards, and technical best practices.
Conduct design reviews, mentor engineers, and guide complex technical implementations.
Collaborate with product, data engineering, and AI/ML teams.
Required Skills & Qualifications :-1. Strong Python Backend Engineering10+ years of software/backend engineering experience, including significant experience in Lead, Staff, Principal Engineer, or hands-on Architect roles.
Strong, recent, hands-on Python backend development experience.
Experience designing and developing complex, production-grade backend systems.
Strong knowledge of distributed systems, microservices, performance optimization, and scalability.
Experience implementing complex business logic and computation-intensive services.
Experience with Python frameworks such as FastAPI, Flask, or Django.
Ability to independently own architecture while remaining actively involved in coding.
FastAPI is preferred, but strong Python engineering expertise is more important than experience with a specific framework.2. Computation-Engine DevelopmentDemonstrated experience designing and developing complex computation-intensive systems is essential.
Relevant experience includes:
Calculation or computation engines
Pricing and optimization engines
Billing and revenue calculation platforms
Financial risk analytics systems
Quantitative computation platforms
Rules-based calculation engines
Large-scale analytical processing systems
Candidates must have personally contributed to the architecture and development of the underlying computation logic.
3. Advanced SQL & Data Modeling
Expert-level SQL development.
Strong experience with window functions, complex joins, aggregations, and query optimization.
Experience processing and analyzing large datasets.
Strong relational data modeling skills.
Ability to optimize complex SQL computations for correctness and performance.
Experience with PostgreSQL, Snowflake, or comparable platforms.
Experience with mathematical optimization or quantitative analytics.
Strong production FastAPI experience.
Experience with Snowflake and PostgreSQL.
Experience developing configuration-driven calculation or rules engines.
Experience with financial reconciliation or comparable data-validation systems.
Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and cloud-native infrastructure.
Experience building multi-tenant SaaS or enterprise product platforms.
Background in complex enterprise software product development.
Nice-to-Have Skills :-
Finance, accounting, or FP&A domain knowledge.
Understanding of financial statements and reconciliation processes.
Experience integrating with ERP, CRM, billing, or enterprise financial systems.
Exposure to AI/ML workflows and LLM application patterns.
Experience building auditable systems in regulated enterprise environments.
Prior financial services experience is preferred but not mandatory. Candidates who have developed comparable computation-intensive systems in other industries are equally welcome.Who Would Be an Excellent Fit?
We are particularly interested in engineers who have:
Designed and developed pricing optimization or calculation engines.
Built complex billing, revenue, or financial computation platforms.
Developed quantitative risk analytics or mathematical computation systems.
Architected reusable rules-based or configuration-driven frameworks.
Built data-intensive enterprise systems using Python and advanced SQL.
Owned complex backend architecture while remaining actively involved in coding.
The ideal candidate combines Principal-level architectural expertise with strong hands-on Python development and deep experience building computation-intensive systems.They should be comfortable moving between high-level system architecture, complex SQL, Python implementation, and detailed reasoning about calculation correctness.
