Implement and maintain high-performance microservices using Python and

FastAPI.

Manage and optimize workflows using Airflow (MWAA), ensuring reliability

and fault tolerance across data jobs.

Work with large-scale data processing frameworks such as Apache Spark

and DBT to transform and standardize metadata.

Sr BackEnd Engineer

system performance metrics.

Deep experience with Python and frameworks such as FastAPI.

Strong understanding of database design and experience with PostgreSQL.

Proven experience with RESTful APIs, microservice architecture, and

distributed system design.

Familiarity with Airflow (or MWAA) for orchestration and Spark for distributed

data processing.

Comfortable working in containerized environments using Docker and

Kubernetes.

Experience managing and monitoring data ingestion from multiple APIs or

connector systems.

Excellent communication skills and ability to work collaboratively in a remote

first, cross-functional environment.

Bonus: Exposure to BI or analytics ecosystems, data lineage, or metadata
