- Collaborate with cross-functional teams including product, infrastructure, and business stakeholders.

- Ensure systems are optimized for scalability, performance, and cost-efficiency.

- Define and track technical KPIs, including system uptime, latency, and resource utilization.

- Evaluate and adopt appropriate streaming technologies and orchestration tools to support real-time and batch processing needs.

Required Skills & Experience :

- 7+ years of backend development experience using Python, Java, JavaScript, or similar languages.

- Strong understanding of backend architecture, API design, and microservices.

- Experience with relational databases (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL) and data modeling.

- Proven ability to lead engineering teams and manage project delivery.

- Hands-on experience with cloud platforms, especially AWS and GCP.

- Familiarity with streaming platforms (e.g., Apache Kafka, Google Pub/Sub) and workflow orchestration tools (e.g., Apache Airflow, Prefect).

- Experience with performance monitoring, benchmarking, and cost optimization.

Good to Have :

- Prior experience in the airline, travel, or transportation domain.

- Exposure to observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog).

- Experience working in agile environments and collaborating with cross-functional teams.

Educational Qualification:
