we are seeking a full stack software engineer to join our it team and work closely with our data scientist to transform analytical models, machine learning solutions, and business requirements into production-ready applications. You will be responsible for designing and building scalable, microservices-based systems with a python backend and next.js frontend that power our internal tools and operational platforms.
this role is ideal for a developer who thrives at the intersection of software engineering and data science - someone who can take a pricing algorithm or forecasting model and turn it into a reliable, user-friendly application.

* collaborate directly with the data science team to produce ml models, pricing engines, and forecasting systems.
* design, develop, and maintain microservices architectures that are scalable, maintainable, and well-documented.
* build robust rest and/or graphql apis in python to expose data science capabilities to internal applications.
* develop responsive, intuitive frontend interfaces using next.js (react) for internal users across operations, sales, and finance.
* implement data pipelines and integrations that connect models to live operational data.
* ensure code quality through testing, code reviews, and ci/cd best practices.
* work with databases (sql and nosql) to manage application data and model outputs.
* contribute to the architecture of proprietary mcp servers and ai-powered tools.
* participate in technical planning, sprint cycles, and cross-functional collaboration.
required qualifications
* bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
* strong proficiency in python for backend development (fastapi, flask, or django).
* solid experience with javascript/typescript and next.js (or react).
* demonstrated experience building microservices or service-oriented architectures.
* familiarity with restful api design and integration patterns.
* experience with relational databases (postgresql, mysql) and query optimization.
* understanding of version control (git) and collaborative development workflows.
* ability to translate technical requirements from data science into clean, production-grade code.
* strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset.
