📋 Description

• Lead the re-architecture and rewrite of a legacy backup & disaster-recovery (BCDR) platform into a modern microservices architecture • Build scalable, resilient, cloud-native services running on Kubernetes in AWS • Design robust database layers • Collaborate closely with the leads, developers, and product team on the Client side to deliver a high-availability, high-performance system • Help define architecture, set best practices, mentor engineers, and ensure the system meets SLAs under heavy load and disaster scenarios • Drive the redesign and reimplementation of legacy modules into a microservices-based architecture using Python • Design, build, test, deploy, and maintain backend services (REST APIs, internal services, messaging, task queues) running in containers, orchestrated via Kubernetes • Collaborate with DevOps/SRE to define CI/CD pipelines, automation, monitoring, alerting, metrics, and deployment strategies (blue/green, canary, rolling) • Ensure high reliability, fault-tolerance, graceful degradation, and recovery in error conditions (network partitions, node failures, resource exhaustion) • Design and implement service communication patterns (synchronous, asynchronous, event-driven, pub/sub), versioning, and backward compatibility • Define and enforce best practices: code quality, modularity, documentation, observability (logging, tracing, metrics) • Conduct performance profiling and tuning, address bottlenecks, optimize throughput, latency, concurrency, and memory usage • Mentor and coach more junior engineers: conduct code reviews, share architectural knowledge, promote best practices • Participate in product planning and design discussions help translate features/requirements into scalable technical solutions • Handle migration strategies: incrementally decompose legacy monolith, manage data schema migrations, ensure safe cutovers and rollbacks • Engage in system-level thinking: capacity planning, fault injection, chaos testing, disaster scenarios, resilience in cloud environments

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of professional Python development experience (or equivalent), building production-grade backend systems • Strong experience in microservices architecture: service decomposition, inter-service communication, API design, versioning, service discovery • Hands-on experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) • Solid experience with relational databases (e.g. PostgreSQL, MySQL) including schema design, indexing, replication, partitioning, migrations • Experience building systems deployed on AWS • Understanding of distributed systems • Experience in designing for high availability, fault-tolerance, resilience, and disaster recovery • Strong debugging, profiling, and performance tuning skills (e.g. handling concurrency, memory, I/O) • Experience migrating or refactoring legacy monolithic systems to modern architectures • Proficient in writing clean, maintainable, tested code (unit tests, integration tests); familiarity with test automation • Excellent problem-solving skills, ability to break down complex problems, make trade-offs, and deliver pragmatic solutions • Good communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally with product, QA, operations, and business stakeholders • Leadership or mentoring experience is a plus.
