Back End developer (SDE-1)

Core Responsibilities:

• Design & Development: Architect and implement scalable backend services and APIs using Python or Golang, ensuring high performance, resilience, and extensibility.
• System Ownership: Take end-to-end ownership of critical modules, from design and development to deployment and support.
• Technical Leadership: Conduct design and code reviews, enforce best practices, and mentor junior engineers to raise the team’s technical bar.
• Collaboration: Work closely with product managers, architects, and other engineers to translate business requirements into technical solutions.
• Performance & Reliability: Troubleshoot complex issues in production systems, identify root causes, and design sustainable long-term solutions.
• Innovation: Evaluate new technologies, contribute to proof-of-concepts, and recommend tools that can improve developer productivity.
• Process Improvement: Drive initiatives to improve coding standards, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing practices.
• Knowledge Sharing: Document designs, create technical guides, and share insights with the broader engineering team.

Experience and Expertise:

• 4–7 years of backend development experience with Python or Golang.
• Strong expertise in designing, developing, and scaling microservices and distributed systems.
• Solid understanding of concurrency, multi-threading, and performance optimization.
• Proficiency with databases (SQL/NoSQL), caching systems (Redis, Memcached), and messaging systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ, etc.).
• Hands-on experience with Linux development, Docker, and Kubernetes.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure) and related services.
• Strong debugging, profiling, and optimization skills for production-grade systems.
• Experience with AI-powered development tools is a strong plus; familiarity with concepts like 'agentic coding' for workflow automation or 'context engineering' for leveraging LLMs in system design is highly desirable.

Skills:

• Strong problem-solving ability, with experience handling complex technical challenges.
• Ability to lead technical initiatives and mentor junior engineers.
• Excellent communication skills to collaborate with cross-functional teams and articulate trade-offs.
• Self-motivated, proactive, and able to operate independently while aligning with team goals.
• Passionate about engineering culture, quality, and developer productivity.

Experience and Expertise

● 7– 10 years of experience in backend development with Python or Golang.

● Solid understanding of RESTful APIs, microservices, and distributed systems.

● Strong knowledge of data structures, algorithms, and OOPS principles.

● Hands-on experience with relational and/or NoSQL databases.

● Familiarity with Linux development, Docker, and basic cloud concepts

(AWS/GCP/Azure).

● Proficiency with Git and version control workflows.

● Familiarity with AI-powered development tools or exposure to projects involving large

language models (LLMs) is a plus.

Skills

● Strong analytical and debugging skills with the ability to solve complex problems.

● Good communication and collaboration skills across teams.

● Ability to work independently with minimal supervision while being a strong team

player.

● Growth mindset – eagerness to learn new technologies

A backend developer is an engineer who can handle all the work of databases, servers,

systems engineering, and clients. Depending on the project, what customers need may

be a mobile stack, a Web stack, or a native application stack.

You will be responsible for:

 Build reusable code and libraries for future use.

 Own & build new modules/features end-to-end independently.

 Collaborate with other team members and stakeholders.

Required Skills :

 Thorough understanding of Node.js and Typescript.

 Excellence in at least one framework like strongloop loopback, express.js, sail.js, etc.

 Basic architectural understanding of modern day web applications

 Diligence for coding standards

 Must be good with git and git workflow

 Experience of external integrations is a plus

 Working knowledge of AWS or GCP or Azure - Expertise with linux based systems

 Experience with CI/CD tools like jenkins is a plus.

 Experience with testing and automation frameworks.

 Extensive understanding of RDBMS systems

• 3+ years of experience in Technology.
• A strong product design sense.
• Good experience in working with programming language Golang.
• Understand end-user requirements, formulate use cases and come up with effective solutions.
• Good understanding of REST APIs and the web in general.

1. Need to have an understanding of Elastic Search, Kafka, mongo DB, etc.

2. Should have experience of Jupter noobooks, data bricks

3. Java, Pythons

4. Senior level, 5-10 years of experience

5. It is important they have those skills so that they can take over current work. There are codes written in both Java as well as Python. (Java is legacy but that is the main search engine code). So it will be counter-productive if engineers hired have experience in both.

6. Excellent communication, analytical, research, grasping skills
