About the Role
We are seeking a Software Engineer with solid backend experience to design and deliver production-grade features end-to-end. You will operate with meaningful autonomy on moderately complex problems, take ownership of quality, and begin shaping technical decisions within your squad — including how AI tools are used responsibly across the team.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement backend services and APIs using both Java (Spring Boot / Quarkus) and Python (FastAPI), selecting the appropriate language and framework for the problem at hand
- Apply object-oriented design with confidence: design class hierarchies, favor composition over inheritance, apply SOLID principles, and refactor code that violates them
- Select and apply design patterns appropriately — Adapter, Repository, Observer, Decorator, Template Method, and others — and articulate the trade-offs of each choice in code reviews
- Design and document RESTful APIs: resource modeling, versioning strategies, pagination, error schemas, and authentication via OAuth 2.0 / JWT
- Write intermediate to advanced SQL Server queries: window functions, CTEs, stored procedures, index strategies, and execution plan analysis for optimization
- Implement Kafka producers and consumers in production services: manage consumer groups, handle offset commits, design for idempotency, and deal with deserialization errors
- Deploy and configure Azure services: Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Azure Key Vault, and Azure AppInsights; understand how these map to cloud-native patterns
- Manage Git workflows at the team level: enforce branching conventions, conduct meaningful code reviews, resolve complex merge conflicts, and use rebase and cherry-pick confidently
- Integrate AI development tools (Claude Code) into daily workflows — using them for design exploration, test generation, code review assistance, and documentation — while enforcing quality gates on all AI-generated output
- Mentor junior developers through pair programming, structured feedback, and design walkthroughs
- Deliver accurate estimates, communicate risks proactively, and own feature quality end-to-end
