Job Description

This is a remote position.

We are hiring a Senior Python Engineer to build reliable and scalable backend systems that power real‑world applications. This role involves working closely with clients and internal teams to understand business needs, design solutions, and deliver production‑ready systems end‑to‑end.
This is not just a coding role—it requires strong communication, ownership, and confidence in delivering solutions that balance technical excellence with business outcomes.
Key Responsibilities
  • Build and maintain production‑grade backend systems using Python.
  • Design and implement REST APIs and backend logic that handle real‑world data and business rules.
  • Write clean, tested, and maintainable code that can be deployed, scaled, and monitored reliably.
  • Own full features end‑to‑end: planning, development, testing, deployment, and troubleshooting.
  • Work directly with clients to understand challenges, explain technical solutions, and gather feedback.
  • Collaborate with frontend, DevOps, and data teams to deliver complete, integrated systems.

Requirements

  • 5–10 years of experience in backend engineering.
  • Ability to own the entire development lifecycle, from requirements to deployment and support.
  • Comfortable participating in client discussions, asking clarifying questions, and explaining trade‑offs.
  • Proven experience deploying real‑world applications used by teams or customers.
  • Strong mindset for writing reliable, readable, and testable code.
Technical Skills
  • Strong hands‑on experience with most of the following:
    Python (advanced usage, Python 3.x) API frameworks such as FastAPI, Django, or Flask
  • SQL databases (PostgreSQL or MySQL); exposure to NoSQL (MongoDB, Redis) is a plus
  • Docker for containerizing and running services
  • Writing unit and integration tests (e.g., Pytest)
  • Git for version control and code reviews
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, etc.)
  • Understanding of API security (JWT, OAuth2)
  • Ability to profile, debug, and optimize performance
Soft Skills & Competencies
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to explain problems and solutions clearly.
  • Confidence in client‑facing discussions and technical decision‑making.
  • Strong sense of ownership and responsibility for delivered systems.
  • Collaborative mindset with openness to feedback and teamwork.
  • Practical problem‑solving approach balancing speed, quality, and business value.

Benefits

  • Compensation and benefits as per industry standards.
  • Opportunity to work on real‑world, production systems with full ownership.
  • Direct exposure to client‑driven problem solving.
  • Collaborative engineering culture focused on quality and delivery.
  • Strong growth opportunities in backend and systems engineering.
