This role is ideal for a hands-on software developer who enjoys building, testing, and delivering production-quality applications. The successful candidate will possess strong software engineering fundamentals, practical coding experience, and the ability to work across application, API, and cloud-based environments.
This is not an architecture or consulting-focused position. We are seeking an engineer who actively develops solutions, writes code, creates automated tests, and collaborates with cross-functional teams to deliver scalable applications.
Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, test, and maintain enterprise applications and services.
• Front End Development in Angular
• Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code using Python and related technologies.
• Develop and execute unit tests to ensure code quality, reliability, and adequate test coverage.
• Build and support APIs, backend services, and cloud-based application components.
• Utilize Git-based version control processes including branching, committing, pull requests, push/pull operations, and code reviews.
• Troubleshoot application issues and implement sustainable solutions.
• Collaborate with product owners, engineers, architects, and business stakeholders.
• Participate in Agile development processes, sprint planning, and technical discussions.
• Contribute to database design, optimization, and performance tuning efforts.
• Support deployment and operational activities across development and production environments.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of software development experience.
• Strong hands-on programming experience with Python.
• Solid understanding of software engineering fundamentals and development best practices.
• Experience writing and maintaining unit tests and automated testing frameworks.
• Working knowledge of Git and source control management practices.
• Experience developing APIs and backend services.
• Understanding of database concepts, indexing strategies, and performance optimization.
• Experience working within modern cloud-based development environments.
• Ability to independently design, code, test, and deliver software solutions.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with Snowflake or other cloud data platforms.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices.
• Experience with cloud technologies such as Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud.
• Knowledge of containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Exposure to front-end technologies and modern web application frameworks.
• Experience in enterprise-scale application development environments.

• Effective communication and collaboration skills
• Hands-on development mindset

What Success Looks Like
The ideal candidate is a developer who can confidently discuss and demonstrate:

• Python programming experience
• Unit testing principles and implementation
• Git source control workflows (commit, push, pull, branching, merge requests)
• API and backend development
• Database fundamentals and performance considerations
• Real-world software delivery experience

Candidates whose background is primarily focused on consulting, solution architecture, or advisory work without significant hands-on coding responsibilities may not be the best fit for this role.
