Working closely with cross-functional teams, you will contribute to both backend and frontend engineering using modern frameworks and cloud technologies. The position requires strong hands-on engineering expertise combined with architectural thinking and a product mindset. You will also influence DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure reliability at scale. This is an opportunity to work in a fast-paced, globally distributed engineering environment where innovation, quality, and collaboration are central.

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable web applications using Python frameworks such as FastAPI, Django, or Flask, alongside modern frontend technologies.
• Build and optimize backend services, REST/GraphQL APIs, and integration layers for complex systems.
• Develop responsive and performant frontend applications using JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks (React, Angular, or Vue).
• Architect and implement microservices-based solutions with a focus on scalability, performance, and maintainability.
• Ensure system reliability, security, and observability through monitoring, logging, and best engineering practices.
