• Develop and integrate RESTful backend APIs ensuring seamless interoperability between internal systems and cloud platforms.
• Collaborate with network engineers, stakeholders, and cross-functional teams to translate technical requirements into robust, production-ready code.
• Contribute to infrastructure-as-code solutions and CI/CD pipelines to enable automated deployment and continuous improvement.
• Actively participate in Agile team meetings and promote best practices in testing, documentation, and code review

Essential Requirements:

• 5+ years of professional experience in Python programming.
• At least 3 years’ hands-on experience with one or more public cloud providers (AliCloud, AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Strong experience with DevOps tools such as Terraform, Git and GitHub actions, Jenkins, Grafana, or equivalent.
• Proficiency in infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD pipeline development, automated testing, and deployment workflows.
• Solid understanding of Agile delivery methodologies and ability to manage technical workloads within projects.
• Knowledge of Enterprise Cloud Engineering and Operations at scale

Preferred:

• Cloud certification and demonstrable knowledge of cloud networking concepts – e.g. routing, load balancing, VPNs, and network security best practices.
• Hands-on experience with data lakes, large-scale data management, and unstructured/structured data processing at a global enterprise scale.
• Experience with containerization and orchestration (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).

• Experience with additional scripting or programming languages (e.g., Terraform).
• Exposure to full stack development (e.g., developing web-based dashboards or internal tools using JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks such as Next.js, React, or Angular, and back-end frameworks such as Node.js, Django, or Flask).
