Senior Software Engineer – Cloud, Source, AI & Integration Platforms

Datagrate is a modern integration and software engineering consultancy based in St. Petersburg, focused on building next-generation cloud-native integration platforms powered by open source, AI, and automation.

We help enterprises modernize legacy systems and design scalable integration architectures using Kubernetes, Git Ops, event-driven systems, and AI-driven engineering workflows. Our clients range from high-growth companies to large enterprises looking to move faster, reduce complexity, and adopt modern cloud platforms.

We are a hands-on engineering team combining deep systems knowledge with cutting-edge AI tools like large language models, autonomous agents, and AI-assisted development workflows (including tools such as Claude, GPT-based systems, and agent frameworks) to accelerate software delivery and improve system intelligence.

We operate like a startup — fast-moving, experimental, and engineering-first — while delivering enterprise-grade solutions.

• Design and build modern cloud-native integration architectures using open source and cloud platforms
• Develop scalable APIs, microservices, and event-driven systems using Java, Apache Camel, Kafka, and Kubernetes
• Help enterprises modernize legacy middleware into cloud-native, API-first architectures
• Build and deploy AI-augmented integration systems using LLMs (Claude, GPT-style models) and agent-based workflows
• Experiment with and implement AI agents for automation, system integration, and workflow orchestration
• Work with Git Ops, CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code, and containerized deployments
• Use AI tools to accelerate development, testing, documentation, and system design
• Collaborate directly with architects, engineers, and client stakeholders to design scalable technical solutions
• Work across AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, and hybrid cloud environments
• Evaluate and integrate emerging technologies in AI, cloud, and open source ecosystems
• Take ownership of solutions from architecture through deployment and production support
