Backend Python Developer

What you’ll do

• Develop, optimize, and maintain robust backend systems and services primarily using

  Python

  , focusing on high-performance, scalability, and clean architecture.
• Implement and manage complex business logic and service orchestration using advanced

  Python libraries

  like

  NumPy, SciPy

  and frameworks like

  FastAPI

  .
• Build and integrate high-throughput data processing and automation scripts, leveraging expertise in

  Lua scripting

  for specific low-latency or embedded tasks (e.g., within game engines, databases, or web servers like Nginx/OpenResty).
• Ensure seamless data persistence and retrieval by designing and optimizing interactions with both relational (

  PostgreSQL, MySQL

  ) and NoSQL

  MongoDB

  databases.
• Apply system-level

  performance optimization

  techniques, focusing on efficient memory management, concurrency models, and minimizing I/O bottlenecks in both Python and Lua environments.
• Implement robust

  security practices

  , including data encryption, secure API endpoints, and appropriate authentication/authorization protocols.
• Contribute to

  microservices architecture

  , defining clear APIs and ensuring reliable service-to-service communication via message queues (

  MQTT, RabbitMQ

  or

  Kafka

  ).
• Collaborate in

  Agile/Scrum teams

  , participating in sprint planning, code reviews, and daily stand-ups.
• Manage source code using

  Git-based workflows

  (branching, merging, pull requests) with

  GitLab and Bitbucket

  CI/CD pipelines.
• Write and maintain comprehensive

  unit tests

  and

  integration tests

  using standard Python frameworks like

  Pytest, unittest, and Mock

  to ensure code quality.

What you’ll need

• 6+ years of proven experience

  in backend development, system architecture, and high-performance programming using libraries

  SciPy & NumPy

  .
• Hands-on expertise in

  Python

  and its core ecosystem, including frameworks like

  Django, Flask, or FastAPI

  .
• Understanding of

  Lua scripting

  for specialized tasks such as performance-critical logic, embedded systems, or extending server capabilities (e.g., Nginx/OpenResty).
• Experience with

  RESTful API design

  and implementation, as well as working with real-time data using protocols like

  WebSockets

  .
• Practical knowledge of

  Git-based version control workflows

  and continuous integration/continuous deployment (

  CI/CD pipelines

  ).
• Strong debugging and

  performance optimization

  skills for both Python services and database queries.
• Experience in writing and maintaining comprehensive

  unit tests

  and

  integration tests

  using

  Pytest, unit test, and Mock

  .
• Solid understanding of

  Agile methodologies

  and experience contributing to

  microservices architecture

  .

Added Advantage (Good to Have)

• Exposure to

  Lua

  scripting language

  .

• Familiarity with containerization technologies like

  Docker

  and orchestration tools like

  Kubernetes
