Senior Python Backend Engineer building scalable data pipelines and APIs.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Python Backend Engineer with 9+ years of experience building scalable backend systems, automation solutions, and data pipelines. I specialize in turning complex integration needs into reliable, production-grade REST and FastAPI services.
At IBM, I’ve developed and maintained API-driven workflows that clean, validate, and transform metadata for ingestion into Alation. I also improved performance and reliability by reviewing and refactoring APIs handling high traffic, and I automated CI/CD enhancements across the API release lifecycle to streamline development and deployment.
I’ve led Snowflake-to-Alation data integration by designing and implementing ETL solutions that support tenant onboarding, cataloging, and validation. Earlier, at Tech Mahindra, I built AI/ML and image-processing automation (OCR with Tesseract and OpenCV) and delivered end-to-end project work, supported by recognition including IBM Spot and Apex awards and Tech Mahindra Pat on Back and Ninja awards.
