Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable backend applications using Python 3.x.
• Build robust RESTful APIs and backend services using FastAPI and/or Flask.
• Design and implement microservices and distributed backend architectures.
• Develop efficient database solutions using SQLAlchemy ORM, including session management and transaction handling.
• Design, optimize, and maintain PostgreSQL and/or MySQL databases.
• Perform database query optimization, indexing, performance tuning, and troubleshooting.
• Develop applications using appropriate multithreading, concurrency, and asynchronous programming patterns.
• Ensure backend services are thread-safe, reliable, and capable of handling concurrent workloads.
• Design scalable APIs following REST, OpenAPI, and Swagger standards.
• Containerize applications using Docker and deploy and manage workloads using Kubernetes.
• Deploy, configure, monitor, and maintain applications on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
• Identify and resolve performance, scalability, reliability, and production issues.
• Develop unit tests and maintain high standards for code quality, maintainability, and test coverage.
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to engineering standards and best practices.
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to define technical solutions and implementation approaches.
• Contribute to system architecture, technical documentation, and design reviews.
• Monitor application health and identify opportunities for improving reliability, observability, and operational efficiency.
• Evaluate and implement improvements to backend architecture, development processes, and engineering practices.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• 8+ years of hands-on experience in Python backend development.
• Strong expertise in Python 3.x and object-oriented programming.
• Extensive hands-on experience with FastAPI and/or Flask.
• Strong experience with SQLAlchemy ORM, session management, database transactions, and efficient data access.
• Solid understanding of multithreading, concurrency, asynchronous programming, and thread-safe application development.
