Backend Developer

We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer with a strong background in building distributed, scalable, and high-performance backend systems. The ideal candidate has 6+ years of backend engineering experience, including 3+ years in microservices or distributed architecture, and deep expertise in Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Redis, and async I/O patterns.

The candidate will own backend services end-to-end — from architecture and design to implementation, optimization, and production support — while working closely with cross-functional teams to deliver mission-critical systems.

Key Responsibilities

1. Backend Architecture & Development

• Architect, design, and implement backend services using Python (preferably FastAPI) with clean, maintainable, and scalable code.
• Develop microservice components, service communication layers, and distributed workflows.
• Build APIs and backend modules optimized for performance, fault tolerance, and low latency.

2. Distributed Systems & Scalability

• Design and maintain distributed systems capable of handling high throughput and large-scale operations.
• Implement inter-service communication patterns (REST, event-driven, message queues, pub/sub).
• Ensure system resiliency through redundancy, graceful degradation, and autoscaling strategies.

3. Asynchronous & Event-Driven Architecture

• Build async workflows, background tasks, and pipeline services leveraging asyncio or async frameworks.
• Develop event-driven components including producers, consumers, and event processors.
• Optimize I/O-heavy operations to maximize concurrency and throughput.

4. Data Storage, Pipelines & Caching

• Design relational schemas, write optimized SQL queries, and work with PostgreSQL performance tuning (indexes, partitions, query planning).
• Implement caching strategies, rate limiting, distributed locks, and session storage using Redis.
• Build data validation pipelines and compliance-driven data flows ensuring data correctness and auditability.

5. Security, Reliability & Observability

• Implement authentication, authorization, encryption, and secure API practices.
• Build monitoring, alerting, metrics, and tracing systems using modern observability tools.
• Diagnose production issues, identify bottlenecks, and drive long-term fixes and improvements.

6. Code Quality & Technical Leadership

• Conduct detailed code reviews and ensure engineering best practices across the team.
• Participate in technical roadmap planning, architectural discussions, and system design decisions.
• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers; drive a culture of technical excellence and ownership.

Required Qualifications

• 6+ years backend engineering experience.
• 3+ years building microservices or distributed systems.
• Strong expertise in Python and frameworks like FastAPI (or Flask/Django with async exposure).
• Deep understanding of async I/O, concurrency models, and asynchronous programming in Python.
• Strong experience with PostgreSQL (schema design, advanced queries, optimization).
• Hands-on experience with Redis for caching, queues, session management, and distributed patterns.
• Experience with event-driven architectures, message processing, or streaming systems.
• Solid understanding of system design, scalability principles, and API lifecycle management.
• Experience working with CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker), and cloud environments.

Roles and Responsibilities;-

• Include managing Java/Java EE application development while providing expertise in the full software development lifecycle, from concept and design to testing.
• Designing, developing and delivering high-volume, low-latency applications for mission-critical systems
