Job Description

Responsibilities

1) Technical Leadership

• Architect, design, and develop backend services and APIs in Python for POS and retail use cases such as transactions, inventory, pricing, promotions, and loyalty.
• Set technical direction, define coding standards, and own code quality through reviews, design reviews, and mentoring.

• Identify and resolve performance, scalability, and reliability bottlenecks in production systems.

2) AWS Cloud & Engineering

• Design and operate cloud-native solutions on AWS using services such as EC2, ECS/EKS, Lambda, API Gateway, RDS, S3, SQS/SNS, and CloudWatch.
• Implement CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/CloudFormation/CDK), and DevOps best practices.
• Ensure security, compliance, cost optimization, and observability across cloud workloads.
• Drive adoption of microservices, event-driven architectures, and modern data pipelines where appropriate.

3) Team Management

• Manage and mentor a team of 34 engineers assign work, conduct 1:1s, set goals, review performance, and support career growth.
• Foster a culture of ownership, technical excellence, and continuous learning within the team.
• Plan sprints, manage backlog, and ensure predictable delivery in collaboration with product and program management.
• Hire, onboard, and retain engineering talent.

Required Skills & Experience

• 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong, hands-on Python expertise (Django, Flask, or FastAPI).
• 2+ years of experience leading and managing small engineering teams (3–4 members).
• Proven hands-on experience with AWS — designing, building, and operating production workloads.
• Solid experience in the POS / retail domain — transactions, store operations, inventory, pricing/promotions, loyalty, payments, or merchandising.
• Strong fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, system design, and distributed systems.
• Strong, hands-on database expertise in Oracle — schema design, complex SQL, PL/SQL, query tuning, indexing strategies, partitioning, and performance optimization on large datasets.
• Working knowledge of additional relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and at least one caching/NoSQL store (Redis, MongoDB) is a plus.
• Experience designing and consuming REST APIs and integrating with third-party retail systems.
• Proficiency with CI/CD, Git workflows, automated testing, and observability tooling.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with prior customer-facing experience.

• Prior experience working with NCR retail platforms (e.g., NCR Voyix / NCR Aloha / NCR Counterpoint / NCR POS solutions) or Amazon retail technology (e.g., Amazon Retail, Just Walk Out, Amazon Go, AWS for Retail) is strongly preferred.
• Experience integrating with payment gateways, EMV terminals, or PCI-DSS compliant environments.
• Familiarity with event streaming (Kafka, Kinesis) and data platforms (Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery).
• AWS certifications (Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer, or equivalent).
• Experience working in Agile / Scrum environments with global, distributed teams.
