As we expand our engineering team, we are looking for talented backend developers to work on impactful and performance-driven applications for our global clients.

About the Role

We are looking for a skilled Python Backend Developer with strong expertise in building scalable APIs using FastAPI or Flask. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with asynchronous programming, multiprocessing, and integrating external APIs (including generative AI APIs).

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain RESTful APIs using FastAPI / Flask.
• Implement asynchronous programming using asyncio, multithreading, and multiprocessing where required.
• Work with databases (SQL/NoSQL) using SQLAlchemy or similar ORMs.
• Integrate third-party APIs, including Generative AI APIs (OpenAI, Hugging Face, etc.).
• Optimize application performance, scalability, and reliability.
• Ensure proper unit testing, mocking, and CI/CD integration.
• Work with containerization tools (Docker, Kubernetes) for deployment.
• Collaborate with frontend, DevOps, and product teams to deliver end-to-end solutions.

Required Skills

• Strong proficiency in Python (3.x).
• Experience with FastAPI or Flask for backend development.
• Solid understanding of asyncio, concurrency, and event-driven programming.
• Knowledge of multithreading vs multiprocessing and when to apply each.
• Strong database knowledge (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB).
• Hands-on experience with unit testing (pytest, unittest, mocking).
• Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Good problem-solving, debugging, and performance optimization skills.
