About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with deep expertise in backend systems and data engineering to design, develop, and optimise scalable solutions across our cloud-native infrastructure. This role is ideal for someone passionate about building robust systems, driving architectural decisions, and mentoring teams within a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

‍

What You’ll Do

• Design and implement efficient, scalable data pipelines using modern cloud-native tools to support real-time and batch data processing.
• Develop and maintain performant, secure, and resilient data systems, ensuring data consistency, integrity, and availability.
• Implement observability, monitoring, and alerting solutions to proactively ensure system performance, reliability, andSLA adherence.
• Design and implement high-performance RESTful APIs and asynchronous event-driven architectures for distributed systems.
• Refactor and fine-tune existing systems for enhanced throughput, reduced latency, and better cost-efficiency in cloud environments.
• Work closely with architects, product managers, data engineers, and platform teams to translate business requirements into technical solutions.
• Develop and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines using industry-standard tooling to streamline deployments and ensure code quality.
• Uphold engineering excellence through rigorous code reviews, unit/integration testing, and adherence to clean code practices.
• Create detailed technical documentation and usage guides for shared services and APIs to facilitate reuse and onboarding.

What You're Looking For

‍

• 10+ years of backend development experience, with a strong command of Java and hands-on knowledge of cloud-native, serverless platforms (e.g., AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions).
• Deep understanding of data modelling principles, with experience in relational databases (e.g.,PostgreSQL) and NoSQL solutions (e.g., DynamoDB, Firestore).
• Proven track record of identifying and resolving performance bottlenecks in large-scale data or service pipelines.
• Experience working in agile, cross-functional teams, collaborating with stakeholders in distributed or hybrid work environments.
• Strong grasp of software engineering best practices — including design patterns, test-driven development(TDD), version control (Git), code optimisation, and secure coding principles.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to diverse audiences.
• Familiarity with containerisation (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes), and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or CloudFormation) is a plus.

‍

What Join Us

‍

• Work on cutting-edge systems that solve real-world problems at scale.
• Access to professional development resources, certifications, and mentorship opportunities.
• Flexible working environment with a strong focus on autonomy, innovation, and ownership.
