Job Description
Overview
We are seeking a skilled Backend Engineer with ~5 years of experience in building robust, scalable APIs using Fast API. You will play a key role in designing, developing, and maintaining high-performance backend systems that power our applications, ensuring reliability, security, and efficiency. If you’re passionate about creating seamless backend solutions and thrive in a collaborative, fast-paced environment, we’d love to hear from you!
Key Responsibilities
Design, develop, and maintain RESTful APIs using Fast API, ensuring scalability and performance for high-traffic applications.
Implement asynchronous programming patterns to handle concurrent workloads effectively.
Integrate with SQL (e.g., Postgre SQL) and No SQL (e.g., Mongo DB) databases, optimizing queries and data models.
Collaborate with frontend developers, Dev Ops, and product teams to ensure seamless system integration and deployment.
Write clean, testable code with unit tests (e.g., pytest, Jest) and maintain high test coverage.
Implement security best practices, including input validation, authentication (e.g., JWT), and protection against vulnerabilities.
Deploy and monitor applications using containerization (e.g., Docker) and cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure).
Debug and resolve complex technical issues in production environments.
Contribute to system design discussions, proposing scalable architectures and optimization strategies.
Stay updated on backend development trends and apply best practices to improve team workflows.
Qualifications
~4 years of professional experience as a Backend Engineer, with hands-on expertise in Fast API.
Proven ability to build and deploy production-grade APIs handling real-time user traffic (a "yes" to having successfully delivered scalable systems is expected).
Strong understanding of asynchronous programming (e.g., async/await in Fast API, Promises ).
Experience with database management (SQL/No SQL) and integration with third-party APIs or services.
Familiarity with containerization (Docker) and cloud deployment (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
Proficiency in writing unit tests and ensuring code quality using frameworks like pytest or Jest.
Knowledge of security best practices for backend development (e.g., JWT, input sanitization).
Strong problem-solving skills and experience debugging complex issues in production.
Excellent collaboration and communication skills to work effectively in cross-functional teams.
Bonus: Experience with microservices, caching (e.g., Redis), or CI/CD pipelines.
Why Join Us?
Work on cutting-edge projects with a talented, innovative team.
Opportunity to grow your skills in a supportive, tech-driven environment.
Competitive salary, benefits, and flexible work arrangements.
Contribute to impactful solutions that reach a global audience.
