- Provide technical guidance, contribute to architectural decisions, and mentor engineers.
- Take ownership of driving platform health, addressing security vulnerabilities, software currency, and tech debt.
- Leverage AI-assisted tools like GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or GitLab Duo in daily workflows.
- Work closely with Business Data Analysts, Product Owners, Leadership, and cross-functional teams to scope and deliver solutions.
Requirements
- 5+ years of hands-on Object-Oriented Programming experience with a proven track record of delivering scalable, production-grade software solutions.

- Proven experience designing, building, and maintaining robust, end-to-end data pipelines that support real-time and batch data processing at scale.
- Solid experience developing and deploying applications in cloud environments, focusing on scalability, reliability, and cost efficiency.
- Strong hands-on experience with NoSQL and/or relational databases, with the ability to design efficient data models and optimize query performance at scale.
- Strong proficiency with modern CI/CD pipelines (GitLab preferred), including branching strategies, automated builds, and continuous deployment workflows.
- A genuine commitment to TDD, unit testing, and integration testing.
