Location: San Francisco, CA
Duration: 12 months
Job ID: 176553
Team Objective

The team is responsible for modernizing a core mainframe-based financial application by rewriting it onto a distributed platform.
This application serves as the front door for financial data, acting as the system of record (SLR) and feeding downstream general ledger systems.
The platform is embedded within Corporate Accounting and plays a critical role in enterprise financial reporting and controls.

Role Summary:

Client is seeking a Senior Software Engineer with deep backend expertise to join a Scrum-based delivery team modernizing a mission-critical financial system.
This role is heavily backend-focused, with strong emphasis on Python and PySpark, while also contributing to frontend development using React and Angular as needed.
This candidate will serve as a technical SME, guiding a team that is actively upskilling from mainframe technologies into modern Python-based platforms.
While this is not a people-lead role, the position requires strong mentorship, technical guidance, and exceptional communication skills.
The engineer will work closely with Product Owners, Lines of Business, and Operations teams, and must be comfortable presenting technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Key Responsibilities:

Design, develop, and modernize backend services to replace legacy mainframe functionality on a distributed platform
Build and maintain data ingestion, validation, and transformation pipelines using Python and PySpark
Develop and support APIs using FastAPI and/or Flask
Collaborate within a Scrum team, partnering closely with Product Owners, LOB stakeholders, and Operations
Act as a Python SME, mentoring engineers transitioning from mainframe technologies
Contribute to frontend development using React and Angular when required
Ensure data accuracy and integrity for financial feeds flowing into general ledger systems
Participate in technical design discussions, code reviews, and architecture decisions
Communicate effectively through documentation, presentations, and stakeholder discussions
Support CI/CD pipelines and cloud-native deployments using containerized platforms

Required Qualifications:

7 plus years of relevant professional software engineering experience
Strong expertise in Python, with production experience using PySpark
Backend experience with FastAPI and/or Flask
Frontend experience with React and/or Angular
Experience with SQL Server and/or Exadata
Hands-on experience with Kafka or other streaming platforms
Experience working in Agile / Scrum delivery models
Strong communication, presentation, and stakeholder engagement skills
Ability to guide and mentor other engineers as a senior technical contributor

Big Data Technologies: Hadoop, Spark, HDFS, Hive, Cloudera, Hortonworks
Cloud Platforms: AWS (Glue, Lambda, Redshift, S3, CloudWatch)
ETL / ELT Tools: AWS Glue, PySpark, Databricks
Data Integration & Migration: Hadoop ecosystems, Kafka, real-time streaming, data lakes
Data Modeling: dimensional models, structured and unstructured data processing
CI/CD & Automation: GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, Git, Autosys, Airflow
Containerization and Orchestration: Kubernetes

Required Skills:

Full Stack Python
FrontEnd: React/Angular
Backend: FastAPI / Flask
Data layer: SQLServer/Exadata
Streaming: Kafka
Agentic AI: LangGraph, LangChain, A2A (Good to Have)
CI/CD: (GitHub Actions / Azure DevOps), Kubernates

Industry Background (Preferred):

Experience in financial institutions or enterprise accounting environments is highly desirable
Familiarity with financial data flows, general ledger concepts, and accounting terminology is a plus, though strong technical expertise is the primary requirement

Ideal Candidate Profile:

Senior-level individual contributor with strong backend engineering depth
Comfortable serving as an SME and mentor without formal people-management responsibilities
Confident presenter with the ability to explain complex systems clearly
Adaptable, collaborative, and effective in cross-functional environments

In this contingent resource assignment, candidates may:
