Proficiency in Python and FastAPI (or similar backend Python framework)
Experience designing/developing RESTful APIs
Strong Linux systems understanding (admin and shell scripting)
Experience with Docker and containerized environments
Requirements:
Design, develop, and maintain backend services using Python (preferably FastAPI), building scalable, high-performance systems that support platform growth and reliability.
Design and implement high-performance RESTful APIs; ensure APIs are well-documented, maintainable, and optimized for frontend and service integration.
Contribute to architectural decisions and system design; ensure code quality through best practices, peer reviews, and structured QA processes; build maintainable, modular backend systems.
Take ownership of system reliability and performance; implement automated testing frameworks (unit, integration, end-to-end); manage Linux-based environments, containerization with Docker, and automation with Ansible, and support CI/CD pipelines.
