Software Development Engineer

Job Title: Software Development Engineer (SDE3)

Location: Noida (Work from Office)

Job Type: Full-time

Job Summary
As an SDE3, you will be a technical leader within your team, responsible for driving the design

and implementation of complex software systems. You will play a crucial role in shaping our

technical roadmap, mentoring junior engineers, and ensuring the delivery of high-quality,

scalable, and maintainable code. This role requires deep technical expertise in both PHP and

Python, a strong understanding of architectural patterns like MVC, and proficiency with modern

web frameworks and database technologies.

Key Responsibilities

• System Design & Architecture: Lead the design and architecture of highly scalable, reliable,

and performant backend systems and microservices. Make informed technical decisions,

considering trade-offs and long-term system health.

• Full-Stack Development (Backend Focus): Develop robust and efficient backend solutions

using PHP and Python.

○ PHP: Design and implement complex features leveraging PHP, with a strong emphasis on MVC

(Model-View-Controller) architectural patterns to ensure modular, maintainable, and scalable

code.

○ Python: Develop high-performance APIs and services using Python, with demonstrated

proficiency in either Flask or FastAPI.

• Database Management: Design, optimize, and manage database schemas for both SQL (e.g.,

MySQL, PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (e.g., MongoDB, Redis, Cassandra) databases. Optimize

complex queries and ensure data integrity and performance.

• Technical Leadership & Mentorship: Provide technical guidance, conduct thorough code

reviews, and mentor SDE1 and SDE2 engineers, fostering their growth and ensuring adherence

to best practices.

• Code Quality & Best Practices: Champion clean code principles, test-driven development

(TDD), and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) practices. Identify and

address technical debt proactively.

• Problem Solving & Debugging: Independently analyze, troubleshoot, and resolve complex

technical issues across various layers of the application.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate closely with product managers, QA engineers, and

clients to translate business requirements into technical solutions and deliver features

effectively.

• Performance & Optimization: Identify performance bottlenecks and implement solutions to

optimize system response times, resource utilization, and overall scalability.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• 5-7 years of progressive experience in software development, with a significant portion in

backend development.

• Proficiency in PHP, with extensive experience in designing and implementing applications

adhering to the MVC architectural pattern.

• Expert proficiency in Python, with hands-on experience and a strong understanding of either

Flask or FastAPI for building robust web services and APIs.

• Demonstrable strong knowledge of SQL databases (e.g., schema design, query optimization,

indexing, stored procedures) and experience with at least one relational database system (e.g.,

MySQL, PostgreSQL).

• Strong knowledge of NoSQL databases (e.g., document stores like MongoDB, keyvalue stores

like Redis, or column-family stores like Cassandra), including data modeling, querying, and

performance considerations.

• Experience with version control systems, particularly Git.
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and object-oriented programming

(OOP) principles.

• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and debugging skills.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical

concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP, MediaLive).
• Familiarity with containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Experience with message queues (e.g., RabbitMQ, SqS).
• Knowledge of front-end technologies (JavaScript,HTML, CSS) is a plus.
• Experience working in an Agile/Scrum development environment.
