• Develop responsive, intuitive user interfaces using React and JavaScript, translating business requirements and wireframes into production-grade components.
• Design and refine data models- logical and physical- and write efficient SQL to support reporting, analytics, and application needs.
• Manage source control, code reviews, and automated build/test/deploy workflows in GitLab, contributing to and improving CI/CD pipelines.
• Package and deploy applications to containerized environments, working with the platform team to promote code across environments reliably and repeatably.
• Champion engineering quality through unit tests, integration tests, and Test-Driven Development (TDD).
• Partner closely with product owners, and audit stakeholders in a global, distributed Agile/Scrum setting to deliver iteratively.
• Proactively identify opportunities to improve performance, reliability, maintainability, and developer experience.

Required Qualifications

• Overall Experience: 3–5 years of professional software engineer experience.
• Python: 3-5 years of strong, hands-on Python development experience building production applications and exposure to data analytics tooling (pandas, NumPy).
• Front-End: 1-2 years of hands-on experience building UIs with React and modern JavaScript.
• SQL & Data Modelling: Solid SQL skills and a good understanding of data modelling concepts- normalization, relational/dimensional design, schema evolution, and query performance.
• Version Control & DevOps: Hands-on experience with GitLab and strong grasp of core Git concepts (branching strategies, merge requests, rebasing, conflict resolution) plus practical exposure to CI/CD pipelines.
• Testing: Demonstrated experience implementing unit tests, integration tests, and applying Test-Driven Development.
• Ways of Working: Proven track record operating in a fast-paced Agile/Scrum setup with a global/remote team.

Preferred / Good to Have

• Experience designing and developing Flask-based REST APIs (or FastAPI/Django REST Framework).
• Working knowledge of deploying code to a Kubernetes cluster-  building container images, writing/maintaining deployment manifests or Helm charts, and troubleshooting pods, services, and rollouts.
• Experience with containerization using Docker and automating deployments through CI/CD pipelines.
• Familiarity with API design best practices- versioning, authentication/authorization, pagination, error handling, and OpenAPI/Swagger documentation.
• Understanding of cloud platforms such as Snowflake.
• Prior experience in financial services, risk, or Internal Audit domains.
