• Real systems that enterprise clients depend on. Not greenfield experiments, but a world class brand new platform with production code that has to be correct, observable, and resilient. • Integration layer that ingests structured data from enterprise sources (Snowflake, BigQuery, SQL databases) and routes it through our platform. • A Snowflake-to-BigQuery bridge over ODBC: custom infrastructure work that will serve as the pattern for all future enterprise integrations. • Webhook-triggered survey automation engine. Business events in the client’s system translate into survey sends through a reliable, auditable event pipeline. • REST APIs consumed by our frontend, enterprise integrations, and third-party clients — you’ll design contracts that have to last. • Event-driven microservices on GCP Pub/Sub and Kafka — async processing, backpressure handling, dead-letter queues, the full picture. • Security and SSO integration for enterprise clients with complex credential and access models. • Permission and access control systems that reflect matrix organizational hierarchies.

• Work on the development and maintenance of new features; • Be responsible for developing systems that are critical to the company; • Monitor system performance and the deployment of changes; • Document the changes made; • Build and maintain production systems with consideration for non-functional requirements such as: Performance, Scalability, Security, Availability, Reliability, Resilience, and integration with our application ecosystem.

• Develop and maintain backend services, APIs, and enterprise integration components supporting shared services and mission-critical applications. • Implement business logic, service orchestration, and data access layers to support product functionality and workflow requirements. • Build secure, scalable, and maintainable server-side solutions using approved architectures, development standards, and best practices. • Collaborate with frontend developers, QA engineers, DevSecOps teams, and product stakeholders to support end-to-end solution delivery. • Participate in technical design discussions, estimation activities, code reviews, troubleshooting, and production support efforts. • Optimize backend service performance, reliability, monitoring, logging, and observability across multiple environments. • Support data exchange processes, error handling, operational resilience, and secure service-to-service communication. • Contribute to technical documentation, reusable components, development standards, and continuous improvement initiatives. • Assist with defect resolution, release support activities, and ongoing application maintenance efforts. • Support Agile delivery processes and align technical work with sprint, increment, and release priorities. • Contribute to team objectives and take on additional responsibilities as needed.
