2. Develop integrations with internal systems, third-party platforms, and data services through APIs, event-driven patterns, or batch pipelines.

3. Ensure application reliability through proper logging, monitoring, exception handling, and performance tuning.

4. Cloud, DevOps & Deployment

5. Own build, release, and deployment processes using CI/CD pipelines and modern DevOps practices.

6. Work with cloud platforms and containerized environments to deploy and manage scalable applications.

7. Contribute to engineering standards for code quality, testing, security, version control, and environment management.

Leadership & Collaboration

* Lead and mentor a small team of engineers, providing guidance on architecture, coding practices, and delivery execution.

* Collaborate with product managers, business stakeholders, designers, data teams, and QA to deliver solutions on time.

* Drive technical discussions, code reviews, effort estimation, and development planning across projects.

* Good understanding of software design principles, testing, debugging, code reviews, and secure development practices.

Preferred Qualifications

* Experience with microservices architecture, Kubernetes, or distributed systems.

* Experience building data-intensive, analytics, or workflow-driven applications.

* Familiarity with observability, monitoring, caching, messaging systems, and performance optimization.

* Exposure to AI/ML or Generative AI application development, including LLM-based features, is good to have.

* Working knowledge of tools such as LangChain, vector databases, or RAG frameworks is an advantage, but not required.

Key Competencies

* Strong problem-solving and engineering judgment

* Clear communication and stakeholder management

* Ownership mindset with strong delivery discipline

* Ability to mentor team members and guide technical decisions

* Practical, product-oriented approach to building scalable solutions
