  • Hands-on experience developing full-stack applications using Java/Spring Boot, Python, REST APIs, and Angular.

  • Strong understanding of API design, microservices architecture, authentication mechanisms (OAuth, service principals, token-based authentication), and secure application development practices.

  • 2+ years of expertise in writing complex Python scripts, with a particular focus on building and optimizing multi-threaded, multi-process, concurrent, and asynchronous solutions. Experience with distributed computing tools (such as Apache Spark for Python) is a plus.

  • Good to have experience in designing and developing AI-powered solutions using Large Language Models (LLMs), retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and agentic workflows.

  • Extensive experience building and optimizing data pipelines and data architectures (preferred using Talend, Kafka, and/or Informatica).
