📋 Description

• Design & build scalable backend services and contract processing pipelines written in Python and deployed with Docker & Kubernetes • Integrate with enterprise procurement ecosystems—major systems such as SAP, Oracle, Coupa, and GEP ERP, GraphQL/REST APIs, SFTP feeds, and event buses (Kafka, Pulsar) • Wrangle large, heterogeneous procurement datasets—model, transform, and index multi-modal, multi-terabyte enterprise contract and vendor data for advanced negotiation workloads • Develop enterprise-level autonomous negotiation AI systems with the support of Monq's AI specialists • Build data pipelines that feed contract intelligence, vendor benchmarking, and negotiation performance analytics to AI agents • Create real-time integrations supporting autonomous negotiation agents and strategic decision-making dashboards • Ship complete customer features—from architecture and code to CI/CD, infra-as-code (Terraform), rollout, and procurement team training • Build enterprise-grade security, compliance, and audit capabilities for high-value contract negotiations • Collaborate directly with procurement executives & operators—run white-boarding sessions, turn ambiguous negotiation requirements into concrete specs, demo weekly, and iterate fast • Champion observability & reliability—instrument services with OpenTelemetry, define SLIs/SLOs for mission-critical negotiation systems, and automate incident response • Work on-site with Fortune 500 procurement teams to understand complex negotiation workflows and enterprise integration needs

• 5+ years of professional software-engineering experience, ideally in enterprise B2B environments • Fluent in Python and comfortable in TypeScript/JavaScript for full-stack development • Built and operated data-intensive systems (batch & streaming) in cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure) • Know your way around relational, columnar, and KV/graph databases—and when to use which for enterprise procurement data • Integrated with enterprise stacks—authentication, SSO, legacy ERPs, message queues, ETL tools, particularly in procurement or finance domains • Can take a loosely defined procurement problem, sketch an architecture, and deliver a production-ready solution in weeks, not months • Communicate clearly with both engineers and business stakeholders; you enjoy hopping on a customer call with procurement executives to debug an API contract • Thrive in an early-stage, high-ownership environment—prototype today, deploy tomorrow, iterate next week • Experience with enterprise-grade security, compliance, and audit requirements • Comfortable working directly with Fortune 500 procurement teams and understanding complex business requirements
