Experience: 6+ Years

Location: Bangalore, Chennai, Gurgaon

Join our engineering team as a Senior Backend Engineer and lead the development of cloud-native, scalable microservices and RESTful APIs using modern Python frameworks. You'll work with Docker, AWS, and CI/CD tools to build robust backend systems powering next-gen platforms. If you have hands-on experience with FastAPI, Flask, or Django, and are skilled in distributed systems, Kafka, and relational/NoSQL databases, we want to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

• Microservices Development: Design, build, and optimize microservices architecture using patterns like Service Discovery, Circuit Breaker, API Gateway, and Saga orchestration.
• REST API Engineering: Develop high-performance RESTful APIs using Python frameworks like FastAPI, Flask, or Django REST Framework.
• Cloud-Native Backend Systems: Build and deploy containerized applications using Docker. Familiarity with Kubernetes (K8s) for orchestration is a plus.
• CI/CD Automation: Create and maintain DevOps pipelines using GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions, or Jenkins for automated testing and deployment.
• Source Code Management: Collaborate through Git-based version control, ensuring code quality via pull requests and peer reviews on platforms like GitHub or GitLab.
• Event-Driven Architecture: Implement and manage data streaming and messaging pipelines with Apache Kafka, Amazon Kinesis, or equivalent.
• Database Engineering: Work with PostgreSQL, MySQL, and optionally NoSQL solutions such as MongoDB, DynamoDB, or Cassandra.
• Cloud Infrastructure: Architect and manage AWS backend services using EC2, ECS, S3, Lambda, RDS, and CloudFormation.
• Big Data Integration (Desirable): Leverage PySpark for distributed data processing and scalable ETL workflows in data engineering pipelines.
• Polyglot Collaboration: Integrate with backend services or data processors developed in Java, Scala, or other enterprise technologies.
