26-3105: Senior Backend Engineer

Senior Engineering Partner

Job ID#: 26-3105

Location: Hyderabad, India.

Who We Are:

Since our inception back in 2006, Navitas has grown to be an industry leader in the digital transformation space, and we’ve served as trusted advisors supporting our client base within the commercial, federal, and state and local markets.

What We Do:

At our very core, we’re a group of problem solvers providing our award-winning technology solutions to drive digital acceleration for our customers! With proven solutions, award-winning technologies, and a team of expert problem solvers, Navitas has consistently empowered customers to use technology as a competitive advantage and deliver cutting-edge transformative solutions. OverviewThe Senior Engineering Partner is a high‑impact technical role responsible for owning, stabilizing, and scaling production systems while partnering closely with the Transformation team. This role requires deep backend engineering expertise, strong architectural judgment, hands‑on AI‑assisted development experience, and the ability to set engineering standards across fast‑moving, AI‑enabled environments. This is expected to be a long‑term collaboration (pending fit) and is a priority hire.

Responsibilities

• Own end‑to‑end delivery and maintenance of production systems with 6+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• Provide senior‑level technical judgment through prior tech‑lead or architect responsibilities.
• Build and review backend services using Python or TypeScript/Node, including fast, high‑quality code reviews.
• Use AI‑assisted development tools (Claude Code or similar) to accelerate development and correct flawed AI‑generated output.
• Define and enforce engineering standards: testing frameworks, CI/CD gates, code review guidelines, and production‑ready criteria — especially for AI‑built or rapidly developed tools.
• Design and integrate APIs, data models, async workflows, and queue‑based processing across multiple systems.
• Manage cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure) including deployments, infrastructure‑as‑code, and environment setup.
• Build and maintain SQL‑based data pipelines, ensure data quality, and reconcile data across multiple systems of record.
• Harden, stabilize, or rewrite fragile internal tools without disrupting ongoing business operations.

Nice to Have

• Experience supporting transformation or modernization initiatives.
• Ability to collaborate with cross‑functional teams and mentor engineers.
• Familiarity with rapid prototyping in AI‑driven development environments.
• Candidates previously considered for SEO Front‑End Engineer who also match backend depth may be suitable.
