SDE 3 Python (Flask or Fast Api) + PHP

As an SDE3, you will be a technical leader within your team, responsible for driving the design and implementation of complex software systems. You will play a crucial role in shaping our technical roadmap, mentoring junior engineers, and ensuring the delivery of high-quality, scalable, and maintainable code. This role requires deep technical expertise in both PHP and Python, a strong understanding of architectural patterns like MVC, and proficiency with modern web frameworks and database technologies. Lead the design and architecture of highly scalable, reliable, and performant backend systems and microservices. Make informed technical decisions, considering trade-offs and long-term system health. Develop robust and efficient backend solutions using PHP and Python. Design and implement complex features leveraging PHP, with a strong emphasis on MVC (Model-View-Controller) architectural patterns to ensure modular, maintainable, and scalable code. Develop high-performance APIs and services using Python, with demonstrated proficiency in either Flask or FastAPI. Design, optimize, and manage database schemas for both SQL (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (e.g., MongoDB, Redis, Cassandra) databases. Optimize complex queries and ensure data integrity and performance. Provide technical guidance, conduct thorough code reviews, and mentor SDE1 and SDE2 engineers, fostering their growth and ensuring adherence to best practices. Champion clean code principles, test-driven development (TDD), and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) practices. Identify and address technical debt proactively. Independently analyze, troubleshoot, and resolve complex technical issues across various layers of the application. Collaborate closely with product managers, QA engineers, and clients to translate business requirements into technical solutions and deliver features effectively. Identify performance bottlenecks and implement solutions to optimize system response times, resource utilization, and overall scalability. Qualifications: - Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field - 5-7 years of progressive experience in software development, with a significant portion in backend development - Proficiency in PHP, with extensive experience in designing and implementing applications adhering to the MVC architectural pattern - Expert proficiency in Python, with hands-on experience and a strong understanding of either Flask or FastAPI for building robust web services and APIs - Demonstrable strong knowledge of SQL databases (e.g., schema design, query optimization, indexing, stored procedures) and experience with at least one relational database system (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL) - Strong knowledge of NoSQL databases (e.g., document stores like MongoDB, key value stores like Redis, or column-family stores like Cassandra), including data modeling, querying, and performance considerations - Experience with version control systems, particularly Git - Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and object-oriented programming (OOP) principles - Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and debugging skills - Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.,
