A leading global financial-technology firm is hiring a backend engineer for its Threat Intelligence & Forensics team to modernize the systems that store, source, and correlate threat data across the enterprise.

Do not pass up this chance, apply quickly if your experience and skills match what is in the following description.

What you'll do

• Design database schemas and migrate to internally managed relational stores
• Build and evolve REST APIs and middleware
• Refactor services to consume clean APIs and shed direct DB coupling

• Own testing (unit ? e2e) xhyhwjd and performance tuning under load

What you bring

• Strong Python (the core requirement)
• REST APIs, relational + NoSQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB)
• Linux + distributed systems, CI/CD, debugging, performance optimization
• Bonus: Redis, Solr/OpenSearch
