Architect and build backend services using Python/FastAPI (preferred) or Java (Spring Boot/Quarkus).
Design and implement scalable RESTful and GraphQL APIs with a strong focus on performance, security, and maintainability.
Build asynchronous processing pipelines and microservices using tools like Celery, RabbitMQ, Redis, or similar message brokers.
Design efficient database schemas and queries using PostgreSQL, MySQL, or NoSQL databases.
Implement caching strategies and optimise backend services for high throughput and reliability.
Develop modern web applications using ReactJS and TypeScript.
Design reusable UI components and scalable frontend architecture.
Implement state management, API integrations, and responsive user interfaces.
Collaborate closely with design and product teams to deliver intuitive user experiences.
Ensure frontend applications maintain high standards of performance, accessibility, and maintainability.

Implement CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and environment provisioning.
Use Docker and Kubernetes for containerization and microservice orchestration.
Ensure system observability through logging, monitoring, and distributed tracing.
Lead discussions on scalability, distributed architecture, caching strategies, and event-driven patterns.
Design full-stack solutions that balance performance, reliability, and user experience.
Drive adoption of cloud-native architectures and modern engineering practices.
Ensure adherence to security best practices and compliance standards.
Leverage modern AI tools and frameworks to enhance developer productivity and product capabilities.
Contribute to or lead the development of AI-powered features, such as intelligent search, conversational interfaces, recommendation systems, or automation tools.
Work with technologies such as LLMs, embeddings, semantic search, and RAG pipelines where relevant.
Evaluate opportunities to integrate AI-driven capabilities into existing products and workflows.
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
10-13 years of software engineering experience, with at least 3+ years in a technical leadership role.
