Open Source & Cloud Integration:

• Evaluate and integrate open-source frameworks to reduce development time and improve platform reliability (e.g., Spring Boot, Django, Node.js frameworks, etc.).
• Leverage AWS and Azure services (e.g., EC2, S3, RDS, Cosmos DB, Event Hub, etc.) to deliver high-availability, high-performance solutions.

AI-Augmented Development:

• Explore and utilize cutting-edge AI tools (e.g., code generation, automated testing, GPT-based assistants) to accelerate the development lifecycle, improve code quality, and optimize performance.
• Collaborate with AI engineers and data scientists to ensure smooth integration of AI/ML models, microservices, and APIs.

Competencies and skillset we expect you to have to successfully perform your job:

• 5+ years of hands-on experience building and deploying large-scale backend systems in cloud environments (AWS and/or Azure).
• Strong proficiency in Python or at least one major backend language/framework (e.g., Django, Java/Spring Boot, Node.js).
• Experience with microservices architecture, RESTful API design, and event-driven or serverless architectures.
• Familiarity with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, Azure Resource Manager).
• Solid understanding of relational and NoSQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB)

AI & Automation Skills:

• Experience or strong interest in using AI/ML-enabled developer tools (e.g., code generation, automated testing, GPT-based assistants) to accelerate the software development lifecycle.
• Ability to collaborate with data science teams to integrate machine learning models and AI APIs.

We could be a perfect fit if you are:

• Passionate about technology. You anticipate, recognize, and resolve technical problems using a variety of specialized tools for application development and support.
• Independent. You are a self-motivated and ambitious individual, capable of managing multiple responsibilities effectively.
• Problem-solver. You think creatively and find solutions to complex challenges.
• Creative and outside-the-box thinker. You look beyond blog posts and whitepapers, competitions, and even state-of-the-art benchmarks to solve real-world problems.
• Communicator. Strong verbal and written communication skills are essential to ensure effective collaboration and timely delivery of results within the team.
• Proficient in English. We work across continents in a global environment, so fluent English, both written and spoken is a must.
