• Build and maintain RESTful APIs and contract-driven integrations for internal and third-party systems (e.g., ERP, payment gateways, marketplaces).
• Optimize data storage and querying patterns with PostgreSQL and caching layers to meet latency and throughput SLAs.
• Containerize services, define deployment manifests, and collaborate on Kubernetes-based CI/CD pipelines for reliable rollouts.
• Implement observability: structured logging, metrics, tracing, and automated alerts to maintain production reliability.
• Partner with product and QA to drive API versioning, automated testing (unit/integration), and performance tuning.

Requirements

• Must-Have: Strong experience in Python, FastAPI, Django, RESTful APIs, Microservices architecture, PostgreSQL, Docker, and Kubernetes.
• Preferred: Familiarity with AWS, Terraform, and Celery.

Nice to Have

• Experience with cloud services and infrastructure automation.
• Knowledge of performance tuning and optimization techniques.
• Understanding of agile methodologies and practices.

What We Offer

• Fully remote role with flexible hours to support work-life balance across India.
• Small, collaborative engineering teams with ownership of end-to-end features and fast release cycles.
• Focus on learning: regular tech reviews, mentoring, and budget for conferences or courses.

If you are a pragmatic engineer who cares about reliability, performance, and clean APIs, and you enjoy building SaaS-grade systems in Python, we encourage you to apply for this Senior Backend Engineer remote position.
