Project Overview:
We're partnering with a client in the workforce development and upskilling industry that's building an AI‑driven platform to deliver immersive workplace simulations.

The platform uses real‑time audio/video, digital avatars, and AI—running on a fast‑moving backend infrastructure.

Role Overview:
We're seeking a Full Stack Engineer (NestJS / Python) with 4–6 years of experience, primarily focused on backend development (~80%) in TypeScript and NestJS, with some work on the frontend (~20%) using ReactJS. You'll play a key role in helping migrate a complex Java‑based backend to a modern, cloud‑native stack. The project runs primarily in Azure, with some components in AWS and Jenkins for CI/CD. You'll work closely with design and product teams in an agile environment to deliver clean, scalable, high‑performing solutions while maintaining existing systems during migration.

The Ideal Candidate Has:

• BS/MS in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field with 5+ years of experience in site reliability engineering, DevOps, or infrastructure management.
• Proven experience with web applications and distributed systems.
• Strong automation skills with experience in CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Bamboo, Concourse, or similar).
• Experience with monitoring and observability tools like Dynatrace, Splunk, or Prometheus.
• Strong troubleshooting and root cause analysis skills to resolve production issues.
• Experience with performance tuning and cloud‑native application optimization.
• Knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and automation (Terraform, Ansible, or similar).
• Experience working with SQL and NoSQL databases.
• Programming experience in Java, Python, Scala, or other object‑oriented languages.
• Excellent communication skills in English (C1 preferred, strong B2 may be considered).

Key Responsibilities:

• Ensure system reliability and availability by monitoring key service metrics, identifying issues, and implementing proactive solutions.
• Automate repetitive tasks to reduce operational overhead and improve system efficiency.
• Perform performance testing and capacity planning to optimize infrastructure.
• Investigate and resolve incidents to improve system stability and prevent recurring issues.
• Collaborate with development teams to ensure seamless deployments and infrastructure improvements.
• Improve observability by building and maintaining dashboards for system health monitoring.
• Contribute to technology road‑maps by recommending improvements in reliability, performance, and automation.
