• Deploy and maintain services in containerized cloud environments (Docker/Kubernetes).

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including data engineers, frontend developers, and product stakeholders.

• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, testing strategies, and code quality standards.

• Optimize backend performance, reliability, and scalability for high-volume data systems.

• 5+ years of backend development experience.

• Strong proficiency in Python and modern API frameworks (FastAPI, Flask, or similar).

• Solid experience with SQL and relational databases (PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Snowflake, etc.).

• Experience building ETL pipelines or data processing workflows.
