Job Description

Job Description
We are seeking an experienced Python Backend Developer to join our engineering team and help us build scalable and efficient cloud-based applications for our clients. In this role, you will be responsible for writing and testing reliable back-end code, developing and deploying serverless applications on AWS, and ensuring smooth integration with front-end components. You will also work closely with our DevOps team to automate and streamline development workflows using AWS services.
To be successful as a Python Backend Developer, you should possess deep knowledge of Python, AWS (experience with AWS is a must), and be proficient in building RESTful APIs. Experience with server-side logic, cloud infrastructure, and an understanding of CI/CD pipelines are crucial for this role.

Responsibilities

  • Collaborating with development teams to determine application requirements.
  • Writing and testing scalable, cloud-native Python code.
  • Developing back-end components and APIs using AWS Lambda, CDK, and other AWS services.
  • Ensuring efficient deployment and integration of back-end components with front-end elements.
  • Automating deployment workflows and managing cloud infrastructure.
  • Monitoring, testing, and debugging applications for performance and scalability.
  • Creating and maintaining documentation for cloud-based systems and services.

Requirements

  • 3-5 years of experience as a Python developer.
  • AWS experience is a must, with hands-on expertise in services such as Lambda, CDK, S3, and API Gateway.
  • Strong proficiency in Python, with knowledge of frameworks such as Flask (Django experience is a plus but not required).
  • Familiarity with cloud architecture and serverless computing.
  • Understanding of REST APIs and how to build them efficiently.
  • Experience with CI/CD tools and containerization (e.g., Docker, AWS CodePipeline).
  • Familiarity with automated testing tools and unit testing.
  • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a development team.

Plus

  • English proficiency at 50% or higher.
