As a senior member of the engineering team, you will handle complex challenges around data orchestration, API security, and performance tuning. You will operate in a collaborative, cross-functional Agile environment, bridging the gap between Frontend, MLOps, Data Engineering, and DevOps to ensure service consistency, observability, and bulletproof security at scale.

- Security Discipline: Proven track record of securely managing token-based authentication flows and integrating complex identity providers (SSO/OAuth2).
- Cloud & Data Proficiency: Solid hands-on experience navigating the GCP ecosystem, structured data analysis in BigQuery, and designing schemas for relational and non-relational databases.
- Testing & Infrastructure: Strong engineering discipline with automated testing frameworks and a clear understanding of CI/CD deployment mechanics using containers.
- Soft Skills: Exceptional technical communication skills, an Agile mindset, and the leadership capacity to align diverse engineering teams around unified backend systems.
Job responsibilities
- API & Microservice Architecture: Design, build, and optimize scalable, asynchronous REST APIs and microservices using FastAPI and Python.
- Data Orchestration & Databases: Implement efficient data flows across systems, utilizing GCP services, BigQuery, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB.
- Security & Authentication: Architect and maintain secure authentication/authorization layers, including OAuth2, JWT, SSO integrations, and Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC).
- Observability & Performance: Drive API performance tuning, versioning strategies, robust error handling, and integrate monitoring/logging tools for proactive system observability.
- Quality Assurance & DevOps: Establish rigorous testing standards using Pytest (unit/integration tests) and support containerized deployments across Docker and Kubernetes environments.
- Cross-Team Leadership: Coordinate closely with Frontend, QA, MLOps, and Data Engineering teams to align on contract designs, API specifications, and end-to-end service reliability.
