• Design, develop, and enhance scalable, resilient, enterprise‑grade services and microservices on our cloud platform.
• Translate business and analytical requirements into robust technical designs, APIs, and data flows.
• Implement high‑quality, maintainable code in Python, ensuring strong test coverage and adherence to engineering best practices.
• Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, and Artifactory to enable frequent, safe releases.
• Create and manage AWS infrastructure through automation (e.g., IaC) to host and operate platform services.
• Implement and continuously improve monitoring, alerting, logging, and observability to ensure high availability and operational excellence.
• Collaborate closely with architects, product managers, QA, DevOps, and other engineering teams in a multi‑disciplinary Agile environment.
• Participate in and occasionally lead design reviews, technical discussions, and code reviews, raising the overall technical bar.
• Contribute to the technical roadmap, performance tuning, and cost optimization of cloud services and data pipelines.
• Support production systems, investigate incidents, and drive root‑cause analysis and long‑term fixes
