Experience Level: 5+ Years

1. About the Role

At Summit Solutions, we engineer enterprise-grade platforms that prioritize scalability, performance, and security. We are seeking a Backend Engineer (Python) with a strong background in modular architecture and modern backend technologies such as GraphQL and gRPC.

You will design and implement scalable backend solutions, establish architecture plans for large-scale applications, and ensure seamless integrations using APIs and microservices. This role also involves DevOps (Azure), security-first design, and mentoring junior engineers to build high-performing teams.

2. What You’ll Do

• Architect and develop modular, maintainable backend systems for enterprise-scale applications.
• Build and maintain RESTful APIs, GraphQL endpoints, and gRPC services for high-performance communication.
• Design and implement microservices-based architectures with modular components for scalability.
• Work on cloud-native deployments using Azure DevOps pipelines, infrastructure automation, and containerization.
• Implement security best practices, including secure authentication (OAuth2/JWT), data encryption, and compliance standards.
• Collaborate with frontend, UI/UX, and DevOps teams to deliver seamless end-to-end solutions.
• Optimize services for high throughput, low latency, and fault tolerance.
• Conduct code reviews, lead technical discussions, and mentor junior developers.
• Explore and introduce emerging technologies (e.g., event-driven architecture, service mesh) to enhance system performance and developer productivity.

3. What You’ll Need

• 5+ years of professional experience in backend development with Python (Django, FastAPI, Flask).
• Proficiency in GraphQL and gRPC, including schema design, resolvers, and service-to-service communication.
• Expertise in modular architecture design, microservices, and enterprise application scalability.
• Hands-on experience with Azure DevOps, CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes (AKS), and Docker.
• Solid understanding of application security, encryption, and secure API design.
• Strong knowledge of SQL and NoSQL databases, caching strategies, and performance tuning.
• Proven experience in system design and technical leadership for enterprise-grade applications.
• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and mentoring skills.
• Bonus: Familiarity with event-driven architecture (Kafka, RabbitMQ) and domain-driven design (DDD).
