About the role
To design, develop and improve software, utilising various engineering methodologies, that provides business, platform, and technology capabilities for our customers and colleagues.
Responsibilities:
- Development and delivery of high-quality software solutions by using industry aligned programming languages, frameworks, and tools. Ensuring that code is scalable, maintainable, and optimized for performance.
- Cross-functional collaboration with product managers, designers, and other engineers to define software requirements, devise solution strategies, and ensure seamless integration and alignment with business objectives.
- Collaboration with peers, participate in code reviews, and promote a culture of code quality and knowledge sharing.
- Stay informed of industry technology trends and innovations and actively contribute to the organization’s technology communities to foster a culture of technical excellence and growth.
- Adherence to secure coding practices to mitigate vulnerabilities, protect sensitive data, and ensure secure software solutions.
- Implementation of effective unit testing practices to ensure proper code design, readability, and reliability.
Qualifications:
- Hands‑on cloud engineering experience with architecting large‑scale systems on AWS.
- Deep expertise across AWS services including EKS, Lambda, Aurora, DynamoDB, Kinesis, MSK, S3, API Gateway, Step Functions, CloudWatch, IAM, and IaC frameworks (CloudFormation/Terraform).
- Strong ability to architect high‑throughput, low‑latency, distributed systems for mission‑critical workloads.
- Proven experience designing cloud‑native, event‑driven, microservices‑based architectures.
- Hands‑on engineering leadership involving solution design, code reviews, architecture reviews, platform blueprinting, and design governance.
- Expertise in containerization, Kubernetes, serverless patterns, and multi‑region fault‑tolerant architectures.
- Demonstrated ability in AWS cost management, scaling strategies, performance tuning, and optimizing for resilience and cost efficiency.
- Ability to manage and drive multiple PoCs, architecture reviews, technical evaluations, and solution options in parallel.
- Strong capability to present architectural options, trade‑offs, risk evaluations, and decisions to governance boards and senior leadership with clear, data‑driven justification.
- Deep understanding of DevSecOps, CI/CD, observability, monitoring, and secure cloud operations.
- Ability to work cross‑functionally with Product, Data Science, Security, Architecture, and Engineering teams to influence long‑term platform strategy.
- Excellent communication, executive presence, and ability to synthesize complex technical concepts into actionable insights for decision‑makers.
- Experience in fraud detection, fraud platforms, decisioning systems, or real‑time risk engines.
- Experience in top product‑based technology companies known for engineering depth and architectural rigor.
- Exposure to AI/ML platforms, LLM‑driven architectures, GenAI tooling, vector stores, embedding pipelines, and LLM pattern integration into enterprise systems.
- Experience with streaming frameworks (Flink, Spark Streaming), graph technologies, and real‑time analytics.
- Knowledge of model governance, cloud security best practices, and regulatory compliance (PCI, GDPR).
- Background in modernizing legacy systems into cloud‑native, microservices or event‑driven architectures.
- Experience leading engineering organizations across hybrid or global delivery models.
- Patents, publications, open‑source contributions, or conference‑level technical leadership.
- You may be assessed on key critical skills relevant for success in role, such as risk and controls, change and transformation, business acumen, strategic thinking and digital and technology, as well as job-specific technical skills.
- The role is based out of Pune.
