The Role
Are you passionate about solving complex problems? Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment? Then there’s a good chance you will love being a part of our Software Engineering – Development team at Kyndryl, where you will be able to see the immediate value of your work.
This is an exciting opportunity to build scalable, high-performance backend solutions that power modern data-driven platforms in a cloud-first environment.
As a software developer, you will design and develop robust backend services using FastAPI, Pydantic, and SQLAlchemy, and play a key role in shaping API-driven data processing and orchestration frameworks. You will leverage asynchronous Python (asyncio) to deliver efficient, scalable solutions and seamlessly integrate with Azure data services such as ADLS, ADF, and Databricks.
Your work will focus on creating reliable data models and validation layers, while ensuring strong observability, logging, and monitoring standards across applications. You will maintain high code quality through comprehensive testing with Pytest and contribute to continuous improvement through code reviews and performance optimization.
Working closely with data engineers, architects, and product owners, you will help deliver end-to-end solutions that drive real business value, while also contributing to CI/CD pipelines and modern, containerized deployments.
