This is a hands-on, full-stack role spanning front-end and back-end development in a multi-cloud environment.

The platform provisions and governs cloud and lakehouse infrastructure for enterprise users. The role requires deep expertise in cloud platforms, including compute, networking, identity, storage and security.

Strong back-end development expertise in Java (Core Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs) and front-end development with React and TypeScript/JavaScript, including responsive design, accessibility, and performance optimization.

Deep hands-on cloud engineering experience on AWS and/or Azure, including Kubernetes, networking, identity and access management, storage, security, infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or CDK), CI/CD, observability, and cost optimization.

Experience building and operating modern data and lakehouse platforms using Python, Spark/PySpark, Databricks, Unity Catalog, Apache Iceberg or Delta Lake, object storage, and workflow orchestration tools such as Apache Airflow.

Experience with streaming and distributed data technologies such as Kafka, Flink, Trino, EMR, or Snowflake is a plus.

Experience designing workflow orchestration platforms, automation frameworks, or long-running stateful processes, including retries, idempotency, reconciliation, and integration with external systems through REST or GraphQL APIs.

Exposure to AI-powered development, including LLM-based applications, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), agentic frameworks, and evaluation techniques.

Experience with relational and NoSQL databases, query optimization, caching, asynchronous processing, and application scalability patterns.

Strong engineering fundamentals, including secure coding practices, access control models, automated testing, observability, and troubleshooting across application, API, data, and cloud layers.

Ability to evaluate technical trade-offs, contribute to architecture and design discussions, and communicate complex solutions to engineering, security, platform, and business stakeholders.
