Job Summary
We are seeking a Senior Backend Software Engineer to join our Backend team. You will own the design, development, and operation of backend systems that power our Decision Intelligence platform — from core microservices and API layers through to data architecture and event‑driven pipelines. This is a high‑impact role where you take full ownership of what you ship.
Backend System Development
- Design, develop, and maintain modular backend components
- Build both synchronous and event‑driven services
- Implement core infrastructure: dynamic configuration, service discovery, and system orchestration
- Build asynchronous processing pipelines, background jobs, and event‑driven workflows
API Development & Management
- Design and maintain highly‑available API endpoints (RESTful, GraphQL, gRPC)
- Ensure API reliability, versioning, and documentation standards across services
- Implement rate limiting, caching strategies, and API gateway patterns
Database & Data Architecture
- Design and implement database schemas and data models (relational, document, or hybrid)
- Optimize queries, manage migrations, and ensure data integrity across services
- Work with data engineers on ingestion, transformation, and serving layers
Infrastructure & Deployment
- Work with containerized deployments (Docker, ECS, EKS) and AWS cloud infrastructure
- Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting for backend services
Collaboration, Code Quality & Security
- Work closely with frontend, data, platform, and DevOps teams to deliver integrated solutions
- Contribute to architectural discussions and technical decision‑making
- Mentor mid‑level and junior engineers on backend engineering best practices
- Write high‑quality, well‑tested production code with comprehensive unit and integration tests
- Enforce security best practices: authentication, authorization, encryption, input validation
- Conduct and participate in code reviews to maintain code quality
Qualifications
- Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
- Experience: Minimum of 5 years in software engineering, with strong backend development expertise and a track record of building production systems.
Technical Skills
- Strong proficiency in Java/Kotlin with hands‑on experience in Spring Boot and the Spring ecosystem (Spring MVC, Spring Data, Spring Security, Spring Cloud)
