**Important Note:**

What You Will Do

Depending on your skill set, you may contribute across the stack, but the primary focus will be on backend development:

- **Backend Development:** Design, develop, and maintain scalable and efficient backend services using Python (with frameworks like Flask or FastAPI).

- **Database Management:** Work with PostgreSQL to ensure efficient data storage, retrieval, and optimization.

- **API Integration:** Integrate and work with RESTful APIs to enhance application functionality and data management.

- **LLM Integration:** Collaborate on AI agentic development by integrating multiple Large Language Models (LLMs).

How You Will Do It

- **Collaboration:** Work closely with developers, product managers, and designers to deliver high-quality applications.

- **Code Quality:** Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code while adhering to coding standards and enterprise best practices.

- **Debugging:** Troubleshoot and debug complex issues across systems and environments.

- **Continuous Learning:** Stay updated with the latest technologies, tools, and best practices in Python and backend development.

- **Documentation:** Maintain detailed documentation for development processes and API integrations to ensure transparency and ease of understanding.

What You Will Bring

- **Experience:** Minimum 5 years of professional backend development experience, with deep expertise in Python.

- **Backend Technologies:** Strong skills in RESTful APIs, microservices, and backend development best practices.

- **API Integration:** Hands-on experience with RESTful APIs for seamless communication between components.

- **Testing:** Familiarity with testing methodologies and tools for unit testing and validation.

- **Performance Optimization:** Experience in identifying and resolving performance issues to ensure scalability and efficiency.

- **Agile Methodology:** Proven experience working in Agile environments using tools like Jira.

- **Collaboration:** Strong communication skills for effective collaboration with cross-functional teams.

- **Soft Skills:** Demonstrated ability to self-learn, work independently, and apply enterprise practices in coding and project management.

**Experience Level:** 5+ years (applications with less will not be considered).

What Will Make You Stand Out

- Proven ability to optimize backend performance and implement security best practices.

- Experience with microservices architecture and cloud-based solutions (e.g., Azure).

- Strong debugging skills and familiarity with modern backend development tools.

- Ability to mentor and guide junior developers in following best practices.

- Exposure to full-stack technologies (e.g., React for frontend) and a willingness to expand beyond backend.
