Senior Backend Engineer building scalable Java/Kotlin services for Toast’s restaurant reservations and payments platform. Delivering integrations, subscriptions, and guest - management capabilities across global markets.
About the role
- Senior Software Engineer focusing on backend systems and cloud native technologies at Nirmata. Leading architecture decisions and AI/ML integration in space-critical applications.
Responsibilities
- Define, own, and evolve the architecture of core data-heavy subsystems, balancing scalability, reliability, and cost, with a 2–5 year technical horizon aligned to business goals.
- Take end-to-end ownership of critical areas of the Nirmata Policy Management cloud platform, from technical design and implementation through deployment and operational maturity.
- Lead the design and delivery of AI/ML-powered features, translating ambiguous product ideas into production-ready systems with clear performance, reliability, and cost constraints.
- Partner closely with Product, Platform, and Customer-facing teams to ensure features are well-integrated, observable, and optimized for long-term maintainability—not just short-term delivery.
- Set a high engineering bar through hands-on code reviews, architectural guidance, and direct accountability for code quality, security, and operational readiness.
- Proactively identify technical gaps and opportunities, introduce new technologies or patterns where they add real value, and lead technical learning across the team by example.

- Proficient in defining API specifications (OpenApi/Swagger, Rest, GraphQL, gRPC, WebSocket)
- Experience with Kubernetes and container technologies
- Proven experience in developing SaaS backend solutions based on micro services architecture in public clouds (aws, Azure, GCP)
- Familiarity with several frameworks or Cloud services used in large scale distributed systems such as Kafka, Flink, RabbitMQ, Redis, Spark, Amazon Kinesis, Google Cloud Dataflow, Azure Event Hub
- Prior experience using AI/ML technologies (LLM, SML, RAG, Prompt Engineering, …)
