• Work on technically challenging distributed systems using modern cloud technologies.
• Influence architecture and engineering best practices across a global development team.
• Collaborate with experienced engineers in a culture that values innovation, knowledge sharing, and continuous learning.
• Gain exposure to cloud-native technologies including Kubernetes, CI/CD, and Infrastructure as Code.
• Build solutions that have a real-world impact across environmental, infrastructure, and geoscience industries.

Your Responsibilities
• You'll design, develop, and maintain scalable backend services and RESTful APIs using C++ and Python.
• You'll contribute to architectural decisions, evaluating technical trade-offs and recommending scalable solutions.
• You'll build and deploy cloud-native applications across AWS, Azure, or GCP environments.
• You'll leverage Kubernetes, container orchestration, and Infrastructure as Code to deliver reliable, resilient services.
• You'll collaborate closely with engineering, product, and architecture teams to deliver high-quality software.
• You'll champion secure software development practices and contribute to modern CI/CD pipelines.

Skills and Qualifications
• 7+ years of professional backend software development experience with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Advanced experience developing production applications using C++ and Python.
• Strong experience designing and maintaining RESTful APIs and backend services.
• Hands-on experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP, Kubernetes, and container orchestration technologies.
• Solid understanding of Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD pipelines, and secure software development practices.
• Demonstrated ability to evaluate architectural trade-offs, solve complex technical challenges, and communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
