- Design, develop, and maintain backend services for data ingestion (APIs, connectors, webhooks, streaming) and ETL workflows.

- Implement and optimize data processing using Apache Spark (e.g., Azure Synapse /Databricks) and integrate with Azure Data Lake.

- Build secure, scalable REST APIs powering the SQL editor, dashboards, and chatbot interfaces.

- Collaborate on front-end features for dashboards and SQL editor (React/Angular/Vue preferred).

- Design and enforce coding standards, code review practices, and technical best practices.

- Work closely with product and data teams to translate requirements into robust technical designs.

- Implement authentication/authorization (RBAC, row-level/column-level security) and data privacy controls.

- Optimize performance and costs across compute, storage, and network layers in Azure.

- Good understanding of SQL, data modeling, BI tools and embedded analytics (Power BI / Looker / Tableau).

- Experience with at least one major cloud provider (preferably Azure) and services like API gateways, storage, and managed databases.

- Strong understanding of software engineering fundamentals: design patterns, testing, code quality, performance optimization.

- Familiarity with modern front-end frameworks (React/Angular/Vue) sufficient to collaborate effectively with UI work.

- Experience with Git-based workflows and CI/CD pipelines.

- Experience integrating or working with LLM-based chatbots or search (Azure OpenAI, vector search, RAG patterns).

- Prior experience in SaaS, multi-tenant architectures, or B2B analytics products.

- Exposure to security best practices (OAuth2/OIDC, JWTs, secrets management, data masking).

BENEFITS :

- Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses

- Opportunities for continuous learning, professional development, and certifications

- Collaborative and inclusive work environment with a strong focus on innovation
