Platform Developer

Brief Background

Summary: The Platform Developer will be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining the core software platforms that power the company’s products and services. This role requires a strong understanding of software engineering principles, scalable architectures, and cloud technologies.

What the Role needs to Achieve

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable and reliable platform applications.

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Platform Design & Architecture: Design and architect modular, scalable, and fault-tolerantplatform components using event-driven architecture, distributed computing models, and cloud-native design principles.
• Software Development: Write clean, efficient, and maintainable code in Pythonand Go, following best practices in software design patterns and secure development lifecycles.
• Cloud & Container Services: Implement and manage cloud-based platform servicesusing containers (Docker, Kubernetes) and orchestrate microservices across hybrid environments.
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Automate platform provisioning, scaling, and monitoring using tools like Terraform, Ansible, and integrate with DevOps pipelinesand AIops/MLOps
• Database & Integration Design: Design performant, scalable database and messaging systems using PgSQL, MongoDB, Redis, InfluxDB, Kafka, and ESB-based integrations.
• Testing & Quality Assurance: Write comprehensive unit tests, support automated testing, and validate services prior to integration using GitLab CI pipelines. Ensure code coverage, resilience, and regression safety.
• Troubleshooting & Optimization: Diagnose and resolve platform issues across development, staging, and production environments. Continuously tune systems for cost, performance, and reliability.
• Collaboration & Agile Delivery: Work closely with product managers, architects, and fellow engineers using tools like Jiraand GitLab to deliver features aligned with product KPIs and business KRAs.
• Documentation & UML Modeling: Maintain technical documentation, UML diagrams, and system design artifacts to ensure maintainability, clarity, and team knowledge sharing.
• Technology Foresight: Stay updated with the latest in cloud computing, DevOps, container orchestration, and platform engineeringto bring forward new ideas and best practices.

ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS REQUIRED

• Deep expertise in cloud platforms engineering such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.
