- Lead the development of React-based applications, Python microservices, and cloud-native solutions deployed on AWS.
- Design and implement robust telemetry ingestion, transformation, and storage frameworks ensuring data quality, lineage, and consistency.
- Build and optimize Kafka-based streaming pipelines for near real-time alerts, event processing, and analytics workflows.
- Collaborate with data scientists and domain experts to productionize ML and physics-based models, including monitoring, versioning, and performance optimization.
- Guide UI/UX implementation for dashboards, operational workflows, and data visualization solutions ensuring high performance and responsiveness.
- Design and optimize Snowflake data models, secure access strategies, analytics pipelines, and reporting solutions.
- Establish observability, monitoring, alerting, security controls, secrets management, and role-based access mechanisms.
- Drive engineering excellence through automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, canary deployments, and production validation practices.
- Mentor frontend, backend, and data engineering teams through technical guidance, code reviews, and design reviews.
- Partner with Product, SMEs, QA, and DevOps teams to translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions.
- Lead sprint planning, roadmap execution, release governance, and technical debt management while ensuring predictable delivery.
Your Profile
- 8+ years of software engineering experience with a minimum of 3 years in a Technical Lead or equivalent leadership role.
- Strong expertise in React, including component architecture, state management, performance optimization, and testing.
- Proficiency in Python backend development using frameworks such as FastAPI or Flask.
- Hands-on experience with AWS services including EKS, Lambda, EC2, S3, IAM, and CloudWatch.
- Practical experience with Kafka, including topics, partitions, consumer groups, and streaming architecture design.
- Strong experience in Snowflake or modern cloud data warehouse technologies, including schema design and performance tuning.
- Deep understanding of time-series data processing, telemetry systems, ETL/ELT pipelines, and large-scale data engineering.
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/CloudFormation), and observability platforms.
- Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and leadership skills.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline.
Preferred Skills
- Experience in maritime, shipping, industrial IoT, offshore, or digital twin platforms.
- Knowledge of time-series databases such as InfluxDB or TimescaleDB.
- Experience with model-serving platforms including SageMaker, Triton, or similar technologies.
- Familiarity with stream processing frameworks such as Kafka Streams or Apache Flink.
- Understanding of vessel telemetry and maritime operational systems.
- Experience with Snowflake capabilities such as Snowpipe, Streams, Tasks, and Row Access Policies.
- Knowledge of security, compliance, and governance practices for critical infrastructure environments.
What You'll Love About Working Here
- Opportunity to architect and deliver cutting-edge maritime technology platforms.
- Exposure to modern cloud-native, streaming, analytics, and machine learning ecosystems.
- Collaborative environment focused on innovation, ownership, and continuous learning.
- Career growth opportunities through technical leadership, mentoring, and large-scale transformation programs.
- Work alongside multidisciplinary teams building high-impact solutions for a global customer base.
