Designing and developing robust and scalable backend applications in Python (using frameworks such as Django, Flask, FastAPI).
Ensuring integration through REST/GraphQL APIs and connecting to relational and NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB).
Implementing best practices in architecture and software quality: automated testing (unit and integration), CI/CD, observability, and application security.
Contributing to code reviews, coaching and mentoring junior developers, and promoting best practices within the teams.
Writing technical documentation and contributing to project deliverables (specifications, architecture documents, deployment guides).
Providing technical support in production and contributing to the continuous improvement of solutions and processes.
With a Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or an equivalent field, you have at least 5 years of significant experience in Python development, ideally within distributed environments and high‑value projects.

Relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL databases (MongoDB, Redis), ORM tools (SQLAlchemy, Django ORM).
Containerization and orchestration: Docker and Kubernetes are a plus.
Experience with microservices architectures, message brokers (RabbitMQ, Kafka), and application security principles (OAuth2, JWT).
You demonstrate strong customer‑service orientation, solid teamwork skills, and clear communication with both technical and business stakeholders. Fluency in English is required to collaborate with international teams.
At Fortil, we implement concrete initiatives to support your skill development and ensure a stimulating work environment:
Personalized support to grow your technical and interpersonal skills.
