• Involve in Review of new or existing implementations and introduce structured improvements for scalability, maintainability, testability, and reusability.
• Design system architecture to support integration of backend services into CI/CD pipelines.
• Collaborate with DevOps and QA teams to ensure solutions are test-driven, monitoring ready, and accessible for automated testing workflows.
• Introduce performance monitoring, logging, and error tracking mechanisms, integrating with modern observability tools.
• Work closely with AI engineers, data engineers, and cloud specialists to integrate backend APIs with AI/LLM pipelines, RAG systems, and vector stores.
• Learn and progressively apply Generative AI concepts (prompt management, context handling, observability) to ensure backend readiness for intelligent features.
• Contribute to architectural discussions and technical documentation supporting AI CoE frameworks and client AI projects.

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in software development with Python, including backend systems, APIs, or enterprise applications.
• Expertise in FastAPI, Flask, or equivalent frameworks for building production-grade REST or GraphQL APIs.
• Proven experience designing tiered architectures and applying design patterns (e.g., repository, service, dependency injection).
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, unit/integration testing frameworks, and logging/monitoring tools.
• Strong understanding of modularization, configuration management, and code quality principles.
• Understanding of modern API security (OAuth2, OIDC, integration with EntraID or similar).
• Familiarity with AI or Generative AI solutions, LLM-based architectures, or RAG pipelines.
• Experience with Azure Cloud Services (Functions, App Service, Container Apps, APIM, etc.).
