  • Build and enhance React front-end applications using TypeScript and modern JavaScript patterns.
  • Implement Python and Java backend services and APIs leveraging frameworks such as Django and Spring.
  • Design, implement, and optimize relational data models with PostgreSQL and integrate with Cosmos DB where appropriate.
  • Develop and maintain RESTful APIs used by internal services and UIs, ensuring reliability, security, and performance.
  • Apply strong Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) practices, design patterns, and clean code principles across the stack.
  • Build, test, and deploy services on Azure, leveraging managed services, containers, and PaaS capabilities where appropriate.
  • Use GitHub for version control, code reviews, CI/CD workflows, and collaboration.
  • Collaborate with architects, data engineers, and governance SMEs to translate functional and non-functional requirements into technical designs.
  • Contribute to engineering best practices, coding standards, observability, and operational readiness.
  • Participate in on-call and production support rotations as needed, troubleshooting and resolving issues in a timely manner.
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a culture of continuous improvement, accountability, and learning.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)

  • Hands-on experience with Spring (Spring Boot or related) for Java-based services.
  • Strong understanding and practical use of Object-Oriented Programming concepts and design patterns.
  • Experience designing and implementing REST APIs, including versioning, authentication/authorization, and documentation.
  • Experience with Cosmos DB or equivalent cloud-native NoSQL/datastore technologies.
  • Proficiency with GitHub for source control, branching strategies, pull requests, and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Familiarity with secure coding practices, API security, secrets management, and identity/authorization patterns in the cloud.
  • Relevant professional experience in software engineering, preferably in data platforms, data governance, or other enterprise platform domains.
  • Experience operating in a large-scale, enterprise environment is a plus.
  • Proven ability to deliver high-quality software in an agile environment.
  • Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to decompose complex requirements into iterative, deliverable increments.

  • Experience building or integrating with Agentic AI solutions, including:
    • Orchestrating tool-using agents or workflow-based AI systems.
    • Integrating LLM-based services into backend applications or UIs.
    • Applying AI to automate governance workflows, data quality checks, or metadata enrichment.
  • Experience with data governance tooling (e.g., data catalogs, lineage tools, policy engines) or similar enterprise data management platforms.
  • Familiarity with distributed systems concepts (scalability, resilience, consistency) and event-driven architectures.
