Job description

We are seeking a highly motivated Application Engineer to join our development team. This role is ideal for a hands-on software developer who enjoys building, testing, and delivering production-quality applications. The successful candidate will possess strong software engineering fundamentals, practical coding experience, and the ability to work across application, API, and cloud-based environments.

This is not an architecture or consulting-focused position. We are seeking an engineer who actively develops solutions, writes code, creates automated tests, and collaborates with cross-functional teams to deliver scalable applications., * Design, develop, test, and maintain enterprise applications and services.

  • Front End Development in Angular
  • Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code using Python and related technologies.
  • Develop and execute unit tests to ensure code quality, reliability, and adequate test coverage.
  • Build and support APIs, backend services, and cloud-based application components.
  • Utilize Git-based version control processes including branching, committing, pull requests, push/pull operations, and code reviews.
  • Troubleshoot application issues and implement sustainable solutions.
  • Collaborate with product owners, engineers, architects, and business stakeholders.
  • Participate in Agile development processes, sprint planning, and technical discussions.
  • Contribute to database design, optimization, and performance tuning efforts.
  • Support deployment and operational activities across development and production environments.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
  • 5+ years of software development experience.
  • Strong hands-on programming experience with Python.
  • Solid understanding of software engineering fundamentals and development best practices.
  • Experience writing and maintaining unit tests and automated testing frameworks.
  • Working knowledge of Git and source control management practices.
  • Experience developing APIs and backend services.
  • Understanding of database concepts, indexing strategies, and performance optimization.
  • Experience working within modern cloud-based development environments.
  • Ability to independently design, code, test, and deliver software solutions., * Experience working with Snowflake or other cloud data platforms.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices.
  • Experience with cloud technologies such as Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud.
  • Knowledge of containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Exposure to front-end technologies and modern web application frameworks.
  • Experience in enterprise-scale application development environments.

Technical Skills

Required

  • Python
  • Unit Testing (PyTest, Unittest, or similar)
  • Git Version Control
  • REST APIs
  • SQL
  • Cloud Application Development

Preferred

  • Snowflake
  • CI/CD Tools
  • Azure/AWS
  • Docker
  • Kubernetes

Key Competencies

  • Strong problem-solving and debugging skills
  • Attention to detail and code quality
  • Accountability and ownership
  • Ability to learn quickly and adapt to changing priorities
  • Effective communication and collaboration skills
  • Hands-on development mindset

What Success Looks Like

The ideal candidate is a developer who can confidently discuss and demonstrate:

  • Python programming experience
  • Unit testing principles and implementation
  • Git source control workflows (commit, push, pull, branching, merge requests)
  • API and backend development
  • Database fundamentals and performance considerations
  • Real-world software delivery experience

Candidates whose background is primarily focused on consulting, solution architecture, or advisory work without significant hands-on coding responsibilities may not be the best fit for this role.
