Senior Software Engineer
Summary
Designs and builds scalable backend systems and microservices using Python/Java/Node.js, optimizes databases and cloud deployments, and enforces secure coding standards.
We are hunting for a heavyweight Senior Software Engineer who loves building robust, high-throughput, and secure software systems. You will be responsible for designing full-stack or backend-heavy architectures, handling complex data pipelines, and ensuring system reliability under pressure. If you are a developer who obsesses over query optimization, system efficiency, containerized deployments, and clean software architecture, we want you on our team.
Responsibilities:
- System Architecture: Design and develop scalable backend architectures and robust microservices using languages such as Python (Django/FastAPI), Java (Spring Boot), or Node.js (Next.js/Express).
- Database Engineering: Architect relational and non-relational database schemas (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB), writing highly optimized SQL queries and executing complex data migrations.
- Cloud & DevOps Integration: Deploy and manage containerized applications using Docker onto cloud infrastructure (AWS or GCP), incorporating secure IAM, S3, and serverless computing structures.
- API Management: Design and maintain clean, secure, and well-documented RESTful APIs, enforcing strict input validation, rate limiting, and robust authentication (JWT/OAuth).
- Performance Optimization: Diagnose and resolve system bottlenecks, optimize server-side rendering (SSR), and implement caching strategies to improve overall responsiveness.
- Security & Engineering Culture: Spearhead secure coding standards, mentor junior engineers, conduct thorough code reviews, and drive automated CI/CD pipeline improvements.
Requirements
- Experience: Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related fields, with 5+ years of professional hands-on backend or full-stack software development experience.
- Backend Expertise: Advanced proficiency in at least two of the following: Python (Django), Java (Spring Boot), PHP (Laravel), or TypeScript (Node.js/Next.js).
- Frontend & Tooling: Good command of modern frontend frameworks (React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS) and Git workflows.
- DevOps & Infrastructure: Solid hands-on experience with Docker, Linux administration, and cloud platforms (AWS/GCP). AWS Certified Solutions Architect or similar cloud badges are a massive advantage.
- Algorithm & Logic: Strong problem-solving skills with a solid grasp of data structures, algorithms, object-oriented programming (OOP), and software design patterns. Fluency in verbal and written English is mandatory.
