Key Responsibilities
Design, develop, and maintain full stack applications spanning backend services, frontend interfaces, and data layers.

Own system design and architecture decisions for new features and services, balancing scalability, performance, security, and maintainability.
Build and maintain backend services in Java and Python, and frontend applications using React JS.
Apply AI/ML concepts and tools where relevant to enhance product features or internal tooling.
Containerize applications with Docker and support deployment on cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure/GCP).
Design efficient, well-structured SQL schemas and queries; optimize database performance.
Drive engineering best practices: Git workflows, code review standards, CI/CD, testing, and documentation.
Collaborate with product managers, architects, and other stakeholders to translate requirements into technical solutions.
Evaluate and rapidly adopt new tools, frameworks, or languages as project requirements demand.
Participate in technical planning, estimation, and risk identification for projects across the portfolio.

Demonstrated ability to design scalable, maintainable systems (system design fundamentals: caching, load balancing, microservices, API design, etc.).
Proficiency with Git and standard branching/collaboration workflows.
Expert, daily use of AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude, Cursor) to accelerate coding, debugging, and code review.
A polyglot mindset — genuine willingness and ability to pick up new technologies, languages, or frameworks as project requirements dictate.
Preferred / Nice to Have

Experience working in a distributed or GCC (Global Capability Center) setup supporting multiple business units or product lines.
Familiarity with Agile/Scrum delivery practices.
Prior experience modernizing or rebuilding legacy platforms.
What We're Looking For
Beyond the technical checklist, we want someone who is curious, adaptable, and comfortable operating across ambiguity — a developer-leader who can go deep on any layer of the stack, guide a small team effectively, and is energized rather than daunted by switching technologies when a project calls for it.
Please note that we do not accept unsolicited resumes, work on a Corp-to-Corp basis, or engage with non-vetted external agencies.
