This role involves:
1. Working with tech leads and the rest of the team on the feature design activities and
picking appropriate tools and techniques for implementation.
2. Be a hands-on developer able to independently make correct implement choices, follow
sound development practices to ensure an enterprise grade application.
3. Guide and mentor junior team members.
What we are looking for:
1. A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in computer science with strong CS fundamentals and
problem solving.
2. 5+ years of hands-on experience with software development with 3+ years on web
backend development.
3. A good understanding of backend application interactions with relational databases like
MySQL, Postgres etc
4. Knowledge of web server development frameworks preferably on Python.
