Key Responsibilities:

1. 1. Backend Development

• Design, develop, and maintain RESTful APIs using Python (Flask).
  
• Implement asynchronous programming (AsyncIO) and multiprocessing for high-throughput data handling.
  
• Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code following best practices.
  

2. 2. Cloud & Infrastructure (GCP)

• Build and operate services on Cloud Run.
  

• Orchestrate automation with Cloud Workflows and schedule ingestions with Cloud Scheduler.
  

• Design event-driven pipelines using Pub/Sub; store and query data in Firestore/Datastore and BigQuery.
  

• Set up and maintainCI/CD using Cloud Build or GitHub/GitLab Actions.
  

• Optimize data ingestion and processing pipelines for scalability, reliability, and cost efficiency.
  

3. 3. Integrations & Automations

• Integrate third-party solar inverter provider APIs (Huawei, Sungrow, Solis, SolarEdge, Growatt, etc.).
  

• Build robust authentication, rate-limiting, retry, and error-handling strategies for provider-specific nuances.
  

• Automate workflows for data collection, monitoring, and reporting.
  

• Develop event-driven patterns to reduce frontend load and improve system efficiency.
  

4. 4. Monitoring & Observability

• Develop status/health monitoring APIs for proactive fault detection and triage.
  

• Track device/plant uptime and availability; ensure SLA objectives are met.
  

5. 5. Reporting & Analytics

• Build and automate PDF/Excel/CSV reporting pipelines (e.g., Jinja2-based templates).
  

• Use SQL/BigQuery for analytics, aggregations, and time-series trend/forecast exploration.
  

6. 6. Collaboration

• Work cross-functionally to resolve integration and automation issues end-to-end.
  

• Participate in UAT, triage bugs, and ensure timely, high-quality releases.
  

• Communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  

Requirements

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or IT.
  

• Minimum 60% aggregate marks in academics.
  

• 2–4 years of relevant experience in Backend Development.
  

• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
  

• Ability to prioritize and manage multiple tasks and deadlines efficiently.
  

Technical Skills:

• Programming & Frameworks: Python, Flask (REST API development), AsyncIO, Multiprocessing, Jinja2 (templated reports/PDF).
  

• Cloud & Infrastructure (GCP): Cloud Run, Cloud Workflows, Cloud Scheduler, Pub/Sub, Firestore, Datastore, BigQuery, Cloud Build.
  

• Data & Reporting: SQL (BigQuery), PDF automation (30+ pipelines a plus), Excel/CSV exports, time-series data handling.
  

• Integrations: Third-party API integrations with inverter providers; auth, retries, error handling; real-time and historical sync.
  

• Monitoring & Observability: Status code monitoring APIs, alerting pipelines, system performance optimization.
  

• Collaboration & Tools: GitHub/GitLab, Cloud Source Repositories, Jira, Confluence; Agile/SDLC practices.
  

Nice to Have

• Experience with energy/IoT monitoring platforms.
  

• Docker/Kubernetes or microservices experience.
  

• Familiarity with Angular/frontend consumption patterns for smoother API collaboration.
