● Collaborate on backend architecture and contribute to technical design discussions.
● Implement scalable, maintainable solutions that integrate with databases, frontend applications, and third-party services.
● Write high-quality, production-ready Python code with a strong focus on readability, performance, and reliability.
● Participate in code reviews and help improve engineering standards and best practices.
● Work closely with product managers and frontend engineers to translate requirements into backend solutions.
● Help diagnose and resolve production issues to ensure system stability and performance.
● Contribute to backend testing strategies, including unit and integration tests.
● Support junior engineers through knowledge sharing and informal mentorship.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

● 5–8+ years of experience in Python backend development.
● Strong hands-on experience with modern Python frameworks (e.g., FastAPI, Flask, Django).
● Solid understanding of RESTful API design, backend service patterns, and system integration.
● Experience working with relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and ORMs.
● Working knowledge of asynchronous programming in Python.
● Experience deploying and running backend services in cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
● Familiarity with Docker and modern deployment workflows.
● Understanding of backend security fundamentals, including authentication and authorisation.
● Experience with automated testing and CI workflows. ● Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently on complex backend tasks.

NICE TO HAVE:

● Experience with event-driven or asynchronous systems (e.g., background jobs, pub/sub, message queues).
● Exposure to microservices or service-oriented architectures.
● Experience working on high-traffic or performance-sensitive backend systems.
● Contributions to open-source projects or a strong backend portfolio.
