Senior Software Engineer DFI

Accountabilities: Own the end-to-end delivery of backend features, platform modules, and engineering initiatives, from requirements gathering and technical design through implementation, deployment, and production support. Design, develop, and maintain scalable backend services, distributed data pipelines, and ingestion frameworks capable of processing information from multiple enterprise sources. Build and maintain production-ready Python web services and REST APIs using modern frameworks such as FastAPI, Flask, and Quart. Develop and optimize distributed data processing pipelines using PySpark and SQL to handle large-scale data processing requirements. Architect and enhance data ingestion frameworks that process structured and semi-structured data from enterprise APIs, databases, cloud storage, and various file formats. Improve platform scalability, reliability, observability, performance, and maintainability through continuous engineering improvements. Work closely with Product Managers and Architects to translate business requirements into effective, scalable technical solutions. Break down complex engineering initiatives into manageable deliverables, estimate development efforts, identify technical risks, and drive execution. Conduct code reviews, mentor junior engineers, and promote coding standards, engineering best practices, and knowledge sharing. Investigate and resolve complex production issues, lead root cause analyses, and implement improvements to strengthen platform stability. Champion engineering innovation by adopting modern development tools, AI-assisted coding practices, and continuous improvement initiatives. Requirements: 4–6 years of professional experience in backend software engineering or data engineering, preferably within a scalable B2B SaaS environment. Strong programming skills in Python, with hands-on experience developing scalable backend applications and services. Practical experience designing and implementing distributed data processing pipelines using PySpark. Strong SQL expertise, including complex query development, query optimization, and relational database design. Proven experience building REST APIs and Python web services using frameworks such as FastAPI, Flask, or Quart. Experience designing and developing scalable ETL/ELT pipelines and enterprise data ingestion frameworks. Familiarity with cloud platforms such as Microsoft Azure (preferred) or AWS. Hands-on experience with Git, CI/CD pipelines, version control, and modern software engineering practices. Strong debugging, performance optimization, analytical thinking, and problem-solving abilities. Demonstrated ability to independently own and deliver features, technical modules, or projects from initial requirements through production. Ability to estimate development efforts, anticipate technical challenges, manage priorities, and ensure timely delivery. Strong sense of ownership, accountability, and initiative, combined with excellent communication and collaboration skills. Experience using AI-assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, ChatGPT, or Claude to improve productivity, code quality, debugging, and technical problem-solving.
