About Role
We are seeking highly skilled and motivated Senior Software Engineers to develop solutions in the supply chain analytics domain. In our modern engineering culture, we are moving away from traditional micro-tasking and siloed development. Instead, you will act as an AI-empowered system builder. You will be challenged to build loosely coupled, highly scalable software by owning features end-to-end. Leveraging AI assistants, you will shift your focus from manual coding to architectural design, system orchestration, and high-bar validation.
What You Will Do
- Own the end-to-end development of cross-domain features, working seamlessly across Python/PySpark batch processes, AWS Lambda serverless backends, and React frontends.
- Practice contract-driven development by defining strict interfaces, API schemas, and data structures before implementation to ensure conflict-free teamwork.
- Utilize modern AI coding assistants (e.g., Cursor, Copilot) to accelerate implementation, allowing you to focus on complex business logic and architecture rather than boilerplate syntax.
- Develop "best-in-class" architecture by ensuring components are modularized, secure, and scalable. Shift focus to verifying AI-generated code through comprehensive automated testing (TDD) and edge-case validation.
- Adhere to modern software engineering practices through architectural reviews, focusing on intent and contract alignment rather than basic syntax checks.
- Exercise DevOps principles to deploy, maintain, and monitor production workflows, ensuring continuous delivery and actionable telemetry data.
- Act as a bridge between data scientist groups and product teams, productizing machine learning models using cutting edge cloud and big data technologies.
What We Are Looking For
Qualifications:
- 6+ years of work experience including scalable SaaS systems.
- Bachelor’s degree or higher in a related field.
- Strong hands-on experience across our core tech stack: Python and Apache Spark (PySpark) for data processing, AWS Serverless ecosystem (Lambda) for backends, and React for frontend UI.
- Deep understanding of Object-Oriented Programming principles, design patterns, and system architecture.
- Experience integrating and managing AI coding tools in daily workflows to multiply productivity.
- Strong testing mindset with experience in writing robust unit, integration, and end-to-end tests to validate complex system behaviors.
- Familiarity with CI/CD best practices, DevOps, DataOps, and Platform Engineering concepts.
- Ability and motivation to self-teach, manage through ambiguity, and provide high-context instructions to AI models.
Preferred Qualifications
- Familiarity with supply chain analytics problems such as demand forecasting, inventory, and price optimization.
- Expertise in batch and stream ETL processes, data pipelines, and orchestration frameworks (e.g., Airflow, Databricks).
- Sound understanding of machine learning concepts and experience with Python analytics libraries like NumPy, Pandas, or scikit-learn.
- Knowledge of relational (MSSQL/PostgreSQL), NoSQL databases, and columnar data formats.
- Experience with Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment best practices and familiarity with DevOps technologies such as Docker, Github Actions, Jenkins and Terraform.
