Senior Backend & Platform Engineer · Pune, India

I’m Amit Singh. I build systems that stay correct under pressure.

Senior backend and platform engineer with 7+ years building reliable AWS systems, event-driven workflows, developer tooling, and intelligent data products. Currently delivering product-safety systems for Amazon Ring and Lab126 as an SDE II employed by Realtek Software Services.

01 / Selected work

Production-minded engineering.

Systems designed around ownership, evidence, failure boundaries, and measurable operational outcomes—not demo-path optimism.

Open sourceBackend platform

FastAPI Webhook Delivery Platform

Async control plane and delivery worker using PostgreSQL as a durable queue, with lease fencing, immutable accepted-work snapshots, tenant fairness, retry and circuit-breaker controls, SSRF-isolated egress, audited dead-letter replay, and bounded observability. The public suite contains 121 tests.

Privacy-First Code Quality Analyzer

Deterministic local analyzer with versioned plugin and reporting contracts, authoritative scan-health metadata, Python plus bounded Go analysis, JSON/SARIF output, enforced offline execution, privacy-safe baselines, changed-line gates, and deterministic caching. The local regression suite contains 259 tests.

02 / Technical leadership

Direction beyond the immediate fix.

I turn recurring failure patterns into clearer architecture, executable plans, and operating mechanisms that other engineers can follow.

Architecture boundary

Retired cross-tenant coupling

Separated Ring-specific critical-metric calculation and ticket-update behavior from shared Lab126 processing after the coupling caused defects. Refactored the Lab126 inference path to remove irrelevant Claude context and improve output relevance.

Roadmap & alignment

Moved platform opportunities into delivery

Authored phased plans for source migration and automated criticality/disposition workflows, aligned stakeholders on the direction, and secured approval to advance the source-migration initiative into detailed design.

Operational mechanism

Changed how database risk is managed

Following a production data-integrity incident, drove controls adopted across 15 database changes and backfills: formal approval, peer-reviewed SQL, recovery and rollback plans, beta/gamma rehearsal, post-change verification, and Aurora monitoring. Reviews caught four unsafe scripts before production; team alerts cut detection time by ~50%, while required recovery steps reduced time to restore a healthy state by ~30%.

03 / Experience

From incidents to architecture.

I work across service boundaries, trace problems to the correct ownership layer, and carry solutions through rollout and support.

2025—Now

Software Development Engineer II

Amazon Ring client · Realtek Software Services employer

Own backend and platform-heavy full-stack delivery for safety systems. Set tenant-specific architecture boundaries, authored phased migration and automation plans, drove operational safeguards after incidents, resolved cross-service regressions, supported formal on-call, and mentored engineers into independent ownership.

2024—2025

Senior Software Engineer

Orange Business Services

Productionized Jenkins/Jira/Groovy CI/CD pipelines and a ServiceNow-grounded RAG assistant; led integration, beta, user-acceptance, production rollout, operational handover, and multi-vendor network automation.

2019—2024

Software Engineer

Virtusa Polaris · Lloyds Banking Group

Built financial-data APIs and ETL pipelines, led PostgreSQL migration and Snowflake integrations, and improved API response times by approximately 30%.

04 / Capabilities
