Job Description

Ideal Candidate Profile: Seeking a strong Cloud Full Stack Engineer with deep knowledge across backend services, data platforms, APIs, and front-end analytics applications. You are comfortable designing and operating cloud-native solutions end to end- from data ingestion and transformation to secure service layers and intuitive dashboard experiences.

About the Opportunity
As a Lead Cloud Full Stack Engineer, you will shape the technical direction, reliability, and scalability of enterprise analytics platforms that support mission-critical exam operations. You will lead the design of resilient data architectures, real-time telemetry pipelines, and high-performance reporting systems that must perform flawlessly during peak exam delivery. You bring strong cloud full-stack engineering experience, with deep knowledge across backend services, data platforms, APIs, and front-end analytics applications. You are comfortable designing and operating cloud-native solutions end to end—from data ingestion and transformation to secure service layers and intuitive dashboard experiences. You will drive engineering excellence by establishing sound architectural patterns, automation standards, and observability practices that reduce risk and improve operational readiness. This role requires expertise in scalable cloud infrastructure, performance optimization, data integrity, secure system design, and platform reliability. As a technical anchor for the team, you mentor engineers, guide complex problem-solving efforts, and elevate development standards. You clearly communicate architectural tradeoffs and platform strategy to cross-functional stakeholders, aligning engineering decisions with operational and business priorities. This is a high-impact leadership role for an engineer who thrives in high-stakes environments and is motivated to build secure, scalable, and resilient systems that enable confident, real-time decision-making across the enterprise.
