We seek a highly skilled and passionate Senior Backend and Data Engineer with a passion for startups, and a genuine interest in ML and Data to join our team at Forwrd.ai.

What you’ll do:

• Design, plan and build all aspects of the platform’s data and ML pipelines and backend components.
• Take leadership and pursue the best, state-of-the-art solutions, within the dynamic requirements and timelines.
• Take E2E ownership of all aspects of the development cycle, from designing and implementation up to fully own production and measure the impact and value of your deliveries on our customers.
• Be minded for quality and efficiency - invest time, when needed, to run better and faster.
• Focus on continuous growth and improvement while delivering value to our customers.

Who you are:

• 5+ years of hands-on experience with cloud technologies (on AWS or a cloud provider alike) - designing, developing, and maintaining scalable, distributed, data-driven production SaaS systems, with live customers.
• Proficient with server-side technologies (preferably Java, Python) in a distributed architecture (e.g. microservices) and working with relational / non-relational (like MongoDB) DBs.
• Experienced and have deep understanding in big / distributed data concepts and experience in related tech stacks (Open file format like Parquet, Athena or other distributed Query engine alike, Async data processing/pipelines, SQL and NoSQL databases, etc.).
• Experienced in building and designing ML/AI driven production infrastructures and pipelines - both runtime and training (predictive or other) – a big advantage.
• Experienced with software engineering best practices and keen for automation (e.g. unit testing, code reviews, design documentation, CI/CD, etc.).

• Highly self-motivated – a problem solver, with a “get-things-done” approach.
• Team player with excellent communication skills.
• Ability to work under pressure and with a sense of urgency
• Experienced with working in an agile, dynamic, fast-paced working environment.

This is a rare opportunity to be a part of a team working on something new and innovative, with a potential for significant professional growth.
