  • Normalize, transform, and insert collected data into backend systems such as:
      • PostgreSQL / MySQL
      • MongoDB / DynamoDB / TimescaleDB (optional based on use case)
  • Build RESTful APIs to expose processed data to the frontend for:
      • Dashboards
      • Alerts/Health indicators
      • Metrics visualizations
  • Implement data retention and archival logic as needed for compliance or performance
  • Work with DevOps to integrate pipelines into CI/CD and containerized environments (Docker/K8s)
  • Implement basic observability (logs, metrics, alerts) for the APIs and pipelines
  • Collaborate closely with frontend developers and business analysts to shape data contracts and endpoint requirements____________________________________

Required Skills & Experience:

  • 7+ years backend development experience with Python, Node.js, or Go
  • Hands-on experience with API development frameworks (e.g., FastAPI, Flask, Express, or Gin)
  • Experience integrating with Splunk, InfluxDB, and/or OpenSearch
  • Strong grasp of query languages like:
      • SPL (Splunk)
      • Flux or Influx (Influx DB)
      • Elasticsearch DSL (OpenSearch)
  • Proficiency in SQL and data modeling
  • Experience with JSON, REST, OAuth, JWT, and API security best practices
  • Experience building services that process high-velocity telemetry or monitoring data
  • Solid understanding of asynchronous processing (Celery, Kafka, etc.)
