Development Tools & Practices:

• Experience with version control using Git in collaborative environments (e.g., GitHub)
• Familiarity with sprint-based work planning and code reviews
• Exposure to testing frameworks (e.g., Pytest, Unittest etc.) and debugging practices

Qualifications:

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field.
• 12 years of real-world experience in backend development (or full-stack development) and service integration, with exposure to data-driven applications or platforms.
• You will fit into our team-oriented structure with a college/hostel-style way of working, having the comfort of reaching out to anyone for support that can enable our clients better.
