Staff Software Engineer II(Python,Kafka,Microservices)

Seeking a highly skilled Python Developer with a strong background in distributed systems, DevOps practices, and Test-Driven Development (TDD). The ideal candidate will be proficient in event-driven architectures using Kafka, familiar with Java-based microservices, and experienced with NoSQL databases. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, develop, and deploy scalable, high-performance backend services, with optional contributions to front-end components or Generative AI-driven features.

Must Have

• 12+ years of professional experience in software development
• Strong proficiency in Python (Flask, FastAPI, or Django frameworks)
• Solid understanding of event-driven systems and Apache Kafka
• Hands-on experience with Java (Spring Boot or similar frameworks)
• Experience with DevOps tooling (Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, monitoring, and deployment automation)
• Expertise in NoSQL databases (Snowflake preferred; MongoDB, Cassandra, or DynamoDB acceptable)
• Practical experience with Test-Driven Development (TDD) and automated testing frameworks (pytest, unittest, JUnit)
• Strong grasp of software design principles, RESTful APIs, and microservices architecture

Good to Have

• Contribute to front-end components (React, Node.js)
• Contribute to Generative AI-driven features
• Collaborate with Data Engineering and AI teams to integrate analytics, ML, or Generative AI modules
• Support front-end development in React.js or Node.js

Scope:

• We are seeking a highly skilled Python Developer with a strong background in distributed systems, DevOps practices, and Test-Driven Development (TDD). The ideal candidate will be proficient in event-driven architectures using Kafka, familiar with Java-based microservices, and experienced with NoSQL databases (preferably Snowflake).
• You’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, develop, and deploy scalable, high-performance backend services — and optionally contribute to front-end components (React, Node.js) or Generative AI-driven features in our product ecosystem.

Our current technical environment:

• Application Architecture: Scalable, Resilient, event driven, secure multi-tenant Microservices architecture
• Cloud Architecture: MS Azure (ARM templates, AKS, HD insight, Application gateway, Virtue Networks, Event Hub, Azure AD)
• Frameworks/Others: Kubernetes, Kafka, Elasticsearch, Spark, NOSQL, RDBMS, Springboot, Gradle GIT, Ignite

What you’ll do:

• Design, develop, and maintain robust Python-based backend services and APIs.
• Build and integrate event streaming solutions using Apache Kafka for real-time data pipelines.
• Collaborate with Java teams to develop and maintain hybrid Python–Java microservices.
• Implement Test-Driven Development (TDD) practices and ensure high code coverage and maintainability.
• Design and optimize NoSQL data models (preferably Snowflake, MongoDB, or DynamoDB).
• Develop and automate CI/CD pipelines using DevOps tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Docker, Kubernetes).
• Collaborate with Data Engineering and AI teams to integrate analytics, ML, or Generative AI modules.
• Contribute to architectural design and performance optimization discussions.
• Optionally, support front-end development in React.js or Node.js when needed for full-stack integration.
