Senior Software Engineer (Back-end)

Are you a driven engineer passionate about solving the most demanding spatial analytics challenges from the ground up?

At Mily Tech, we are revolutionizing last-mile logistics through spatial analytics. You'll dive deep into serverless infrastructure with AWS, built around Terraform, and craft Python-based solutions that power our core platform. However, the real thrill lies in tackling complex spatial problems, such as building lightning-fast isochrone calculations and developing data-driven map point recommendations while leveraging the power of Uber's H3 spatial indexing system.

We're not afraid to get into the gory details of systems to squeeze out maximum performance and cost efficiency, using C++ where it counts and leveraging parallelism with technologies like OpenMP.

We're tackling open challenges in geocoding and real-time spatial analytics, such as dynamically redistributing load on couriers and package lockers. If you are not shy of pushing the boundaries of performance and cost effective solutions while shaping the future of last-mile delivery, we want you!

• Design, implement, and optimize cloud-native infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code for ease of replication and efficient resource utilization.
• Architect our serverless offering with ECS/EKS, DynamoDB, Lambda, etc., for high availability and resource efficiency.
• Develop novel geospatial solutions delivering performance-critical analytics for our customers.
• Implement parallelizable algorithms, optimizing single-machine performance before scaling out.
• Maintain system health through observability with AWS CloudWatch, InfluxDB, and Grafana.
• Establish coding guidelines, conduct code reviews, and promote best practices in testing, security, and CI/CD.
• Mentor engineers, fostering technical growth and team collaboration.

• Have a BSc degree in Computer Science or a related field.
• Bring over 5 years of commercial experience in designing and building software products, with a strong focus on requirements gathering, design, security, implementation, and testing.
• Are highly skilled in Python.
• Have experience designing data-intensive ETL pipelines.
• Possess solid expertise with AWS services such as DynamoDB, S3, Lambdas, and AppSync, and are eager to take on a new challenge to showcase your skills.
• Have experience with infrastructure-as-code technologies, preferably Terraform.
• Have a genuine interest in cloud computing, serverless architectures, CI/CD pipelines, microservices, and containerization. 
• Embrace continuous learning of new technologies in serverless, geospatial and performance optimization.
• Seek to master the entire system lifecycle, from architectural vision to detailed implementation and deployment.
• Champion automation and testing to the extent that war rooms become obsolete.
• Additionally, it would be advantageous to have experience in a fast-scaling B2B SaaS environment.
