Software Engineer

Role & responsibilities

Key Responsibilities

• Design and build features across the layered backend and the feature-based frontend.
• Diagnose full-stack performance issues end-to-end from AG-Grid/React Query data-fetching patterns in the UI, through FastAPI endpoint contracts, down to the database and identify root cause rather than symptoms.
• Apply out-of-the-box thinking to intermittent, hard-to-reproduce, or cross-system defects: correlate logs, telemetry, and health-check data; form hypotheses; validate with targeted experiments instead of guesswork.
• Implement secure, tested endpoints following the response pattern (success/error), auth rules (JWT, role checks on mutating endpoints), and validation rules (Pydantic, 422 on invalid input).
• Build accessible, performant Carbon-based UI components with proper loading/error states, 4px-grid spacing, and scoped CSS.
• Write unit/integration tests (pytest for backend, Vitest/RTL for frontend) covering both correctness and performance regressions.
• Use GenAI code-generation and test assistants to accelerate delivery safely, with peer review and security checks on all AI-assisted output.
• Contribute to observability: structured logging, error handling, and lineage/traceability of data issues.

Must-Have Skills

• Strong Python (FastAPI, Pydantic, raw SQL no ORM) and strong TypeScript/React (Carbon Design System, Zustand, React Query, Vite).
• Proven track record diagnosing production performance issues: query optimization, connection pooling, pagination/caching design, and frontend rendering/data-fetching bottlenecks.
• Comfortable reading and correlating evidence across layers — API contracts, DB query plans, browser network/render traces, and application logs — to find root cause on ambiguous, cross-cutting bugs.
• Solid grasp of JWT-based auth, role-based access control, and secure coding practices (OWASP-aware).
• Experience with AWS services relevant to the stack (Lambda, Fargate, Secrets Manager).
• Testing discipline: pytest, Vitest/React Testing Library, and willingness to add regression tests for every non-trivial fix.
• Familiarity with automotive procurement / multi-tier supply chain domain concepts is a plus, not a blocker.
