Experience: 6+ Years
Location: Bangalore, Chennai, Gurgaon
Join our engineering team as a Senior Backend Engineer and lead the development of cloud-native, scalable microservices and RESTful APIs using modern Python frameworks. You'll work with Docker, AWS, and CI/CD tools to build robust backend systems powering next-gen platforms. If you have hands-on experience with FastAPI, Flask, or Django, and are skilled in distributed systems, Kafka, and relational/NoSQL databases, we want to hear from you.
Key Responsibilities:
- Microservices Development:
Design, build, and optimize microservices architecture using patterns like Service Discovery, Circuit Breaker, API Gateway, and Saga orchestration. - REST API Engineering:
Develop high-performance RESTful APIs using Python frameworks like FastAPI, Flask, or Django REST Framework. - Cloud-Native Backend Systems:
Build and deploy containerized applications using Docker. Familiarity with Kubernetes (K8s) for orchestration is a plus. - CI/CD Automation:
Create and maintain DevOps pipelines using GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions, or Jenkins for automated testing and deployment. - Source Code Management:
Collaborate through Git-based version control, ensuring code quality via pull requests and peer reviews on platforms like GitHub or GitLab. - Event-Driven Architecture:
Implement and manage data streaming and messaging pipelines with Apache Kafka, Amazon Kinesis, or equivalent. - Database Engineering:
Work with PostgreSQL, MySQL, and optionally NoSQL solutions such as MongoDB, DynamoDB, or Cassandra. - Cloud Infrastructure:
Architect and manage AWS backend services using EC2, ECS, S3, Lambda, RDS, and CloudFormation. - Big Data Integration (Desirable):
Leverage PySpark for distributed data processing and scalable ETL workflows in data engineering pipelines. - Polyglot Collaboration:
Integrate with backend services or data processors developed in Java, Scala, or other enterprise technologies.
Required Skills & Qualifications:
- Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.
- 6+ years in backend development using Python.
- Proven expertise in API development, microservices, and cloud-native applications.
- Proficiency in SQL, database schema design, and query optimization.
- Strong grasp of DevOps best practices, Git workflows, and code quality standards.
- Experience with streaming platforms, message queues, or event-driven design.
Nice to Have:
- Experience with Kubernetes, Terraform, or CloudWatch.
- Exposure to big data tools (e.g., Spark, Airflow, Glue).
- Familiarity with Agile/Scrum methodologies and cross-functional teams.
Benefits:
- Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses.
- Opportunity to build next-gen backend platforms for global-scale applications.
- Work with a team that values engineering best practices, code quality, and continuous learning.
- Flexible work model with remote and hybrid options.
