Your Mission (Should you choose to accept it) Architect and implement Python‑based ETL frameworks, orchestration layers, and high‑throughput data pipelines. Design and optimize real‑time event‑driven streaming systems using Kafka and/or RabbitMQ. Build and scale FastAPI‑based microservices with strong focus on performance, security, and observability. Lead MongoDB data modeling, indexing strategies, aggregation pipelines, and performance tuning. Architect caching, session management, and high‑speed data access layers using Redis or similar memory‑based databases. Apply Secure SDLC principles across architecture, coding, CI/CD, and deployment workflows. Lead architecture reviews and define engineering standards for distributed systems. Diagnose and resolve complex system, data, and performance issues in production environments. Drive containerization, Kubernetes‑native deployment patterns, and AWS cloud integration. Pre-flight Checklist Expert‑level Python experience across ETL systems, microservices, and distributed data processing. Strong FastAPI design and implementation experience. Deep, production‑level experience with Kafka and/or RabbitMQ. Mandatory MongoDB expertise: schema design, indexing, aggregation, sharding/replication. Experience with at least one memory‑based database (Redis strongly preferred). Strong Linux proficiency and experience with Docker/Kubernetes. Demonstrated ability to debug complex distributed or high‑scale systems. Implement Agentic AI workflows using LangChain and Crew AI. Hands‑on AWS experience across compute, data, networking, and security services. Proven application of Secure SDLC principles and secure architecture patterns.
