- Connect systems across the stack, including BI tools (Looker, Sigma), AWS services (ECS, Lambda), and internal platforms
- Implement background processing pipelines (Redis Queue) for reporting and asynchronous workflows
- Define and manage infrastructure using Terraform and AWS
- Maintain high code quality through testing, CI/CD, and code standards
- Collaborate with business stakeholders to translate complex data needs into reliable systems
What We're Looking For:- Around 5 years of software engineering experience
- Strong Python skills and experience building production APIs
- Solid SQL skills and experience with data warehouses (Snowflake a plus)
- Experience with AWS and infrastructure as code (Terraform preferred)
- Familiarity with Docker, Redis, and background job systems is ideal
- Interest in or experience with LLMs and AI features (prompting, RAG, agents)
