**The Role**

As a SDE III Backend Engineer at AiDash, you’ll design, develop, and deploy scalable distributed systems that power our AI-driven platforms. You will build robust backend services, automated data pipelines, and analytical tools to deliver actionable insights for business-critical decisions. Partnering with product, data, and design teams, you’ll own solutions end-to-end — from system design to production deployment. Your expertise in microservices, Python, SQL/NoSQL, and cloud-native technologies (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes) will help evolve our architecture as we scale. Beyond coding, you’ll drive engineering excellence through code reviews, refactoring, and performance optimization, while mentoring peers and fostering reusable, reliable system design. If you thrive in solving complex challenges, love automation, and want to shape systems that make industries climate-resilient, this role is for you.

**How you'll make an impact**:
- Design, develop and deploy scalable distributed systems.
- Build scalable backend systems to support internal workflows backed by automated pipelines and ML models
- Building analytical tools to utilize the data pipeline, providing actionable insight into key business performance metrics.
- Implement scalable and resilient distributed systems, ensuring fault tolerance and reliability.
- Working with stakeholders including data, design, product, and executive teams and assisting them with data-related technical issues
- Deploy code to production and engage in code reviews.
- Refactor service to improve code quality, runtime efficiency and resource optimisation.
- Build tools that improve engineering productivity
- Become in-house experts and provide consultation to product engineers to help them build scalable and reliable systems.
- Evolve AiDash architecture as we continue to scale.
- Monitor, analyze, and optimize system performance and resource utilization.
- Stay updated with the latest advancements in distributed systems technologies and methodologies.

**What we're looking for**:
- ** Technical Expertise**
- 6+ years of experience designing and building scalable, reusable platforms/components.
- Strong in system design & microservices, distributed systems, and API development.
- Solid foundation in data structures & algorithms.
- Hands-on expertise in Python (backend, data workflows), Spark/Big Data, Airflow and Snowflake (Good to have).
- Strong with SQL/NoSQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB).
- Experienced in RESTful API design, development, and maintenance.
- Proficient with cloud platforms (AWS), containers (Docker, Kubernetes).
- **
Engineering Maturity**
- Strong debugging and optimization skills — load testing, profiling, bottleneck resolution.
- Familiar with backend security (encryption, authN/authZ, compliance).
- Experience in CI/CD, unit testing, code coverage, and ensuring production readiness.
- Focus on scalability, reliability, and cost-efficient systems.
- **
Collaboration & Leadership**
- Works well cross-functionally to build reusable platform capabilities.
- Mentors peers, reviews with architectural thinking.
- Can break down complex product requirements into platform abstractions.
- **
Mindset & Growth**
- Thrives in fast-paced environments, balancing delivery with long-term vision.
