Senior Software Engineer

As a SDE 2 Backend Engineer at AiDASH, you will play a critical role in designing, developing, and optimising scalable backend systems that power our web and mobile app platform. You will own end-to-end feature development - translating product requirements into fully functional features that work well at scale by deploying robust backend microservices.

Collaborating closely with product managers, designers, web and mobile engineers, you will drive intuitive, data-driven applications while maintaining high availability, fault tolerance, and performance efficiency. Beyond development, you will champion code quality through reviews, refactoring, and best practices in security and performance optimisation.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop and deploy scalable distributed microservices.
• Build scalable backend systems to support user-facing application workflows backed by automated pipelines and ML models.
• Work with a variety of databases to efficiently write/read business intelligence and application workflow data to power high-performance backend systems.
• Implement scalable and resilient distributed systems, ensuring fault tolerance and reliability.
• Work on having enough testability and observability in place for running world-class production systems with near 100% system uptime.
• Encourage and follow good coding practices via peer-to-peer code reviews.
• Refactor services to improve code quality, runtime efficiency and resource optimisation.
• Evolve AiDASH architecture as we continue to scale.
• Monitor, analyse, and optimise system performance and resource utilisation.
• Stay updated with the latest advancements in distributed systems technologies and methodologies.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience designing and building scalable, reusable products/components.
• Demonstrated skills and understanding of microservices and systems design.
• Sound with data structures and algorithms.
• Sound understanding of Java and Spring Boot/ Python. Unit test cases, code quality and coverage.
• An extremely good working knowledge of relational database systems (PostgreSQL/MySQL) or NoSQL databases such as MongoDB.
• Experience in designing, developing and maintaining RESTful APIs.
• Operational experience with Docker, Kubernetes and AWS.
• Knowledge of performance optimisation techniques, including load testing, profiling, and the ability to identify and resolve bottlenecks in backend systems.
• Understanding of backend security principles, encryption, authentication, and authorisation.
• They should be knowledgeable about common security vulnerabilities and compliance requirements, ensuring the systems they develop are secure and compliant with relevant regulations.
• Understanding of distributed system architecture and design, including topics like load balancing, distributed databases, and microservices.
