SDE - 2

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, maintain and optimise complex, scalable and distributed systems capable of handling large-scale datasets and high-throughput workloads.
• Optimise performance, reliability and availability across the whole system.
• Write clean, efficient, and maintainable code in multiple programming languages as needed.
• Contribute to architectural decisions and help improve engineering best practices.
• Work with a builder mindset, contribute and collaborate across cross-functional teams to unblock and accelerate delivery. No role silos.
• Actively mentor juniors through code reviews, design discussions and pairing.
• Leverage LLM-assisted tools (Claude, Cursor, LLM-powered code review and testing) to accelerate development velocity and improve code quality.
• Build and evolve the platform to be LLM-ready - design APIs, data pipelines and system interfaces that enable seamless LLM integration and automation.

Requirements:

• 3-5 years of experience in back-end software development focusing on large-scale distributed systems.
• BE/B. in Computer Science or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
• Strong software development skills in one or more languages such as Java / Ruby on Rails / Python.
• Working experience with SQL and NoSQL databases (e. g., PostgreSQL, MongoDB) with ability to design effective schemas and perform various optimisations for large-scale data.
• Deep understanding of system design principles and best practices for building scalable and resilient systems with microservices.
• Excellent problem-solving with experience in incident management, monitoring, alerting, and root cause analysis.
• Experience with event-driven architectures (Kafka, SQS, RabbitMQ, or similar).
• Experience in building intelligent AI agents and systems powered by Large Language Models.
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms like AWS or Google Cloud Platform.
• Deep understanding of software development best practices, patterns and code reviews.
• Effective communication skills to coordinate with cross-functional teams during large-scale projects.
