Product Engineer (React Native, TypeScript)

We are seeking an experienced and highly skilled Python Developer with some experience in Laravel to spearhead our offshore team, in managing a large-scale USA-based product platform.

As a Senior Python Developer, you will primarily focus on building efficient data-driven applications and robust web scraping solutions. You will leverage your experience with the Scrapy framework for large-scale data collection and processing. While Python is the primary language, some experience in Laravel will be essential to contribute to PHP-based projects, allowing for full-stack support when needed.

This role requires a proactive, resourceful developer who can think on their feet and efficiently tackle complex problems.

1. Scrapy Web Scraping: Develop, optimize, and maintain web scrapers using the Scrapy framework to gather, process, and store data from various online sources.
2. Back-End Development: Design, develop, and implement scalable backend solutions in Python, focusing on reliability, efficiency, and high performance.
3. Laravel Integration (As Needed): Contribute to existing Laravel projects, working with the PHP framework to support API endpoints, and ensure seamless integration with Python-based services.
4. API Development & Integration: Build and integrate RESTful APIs to facilitate seamless communication between applications and external data sources.
5. Data Processing & Storage: Create efficient data processing pipelines and manage SQL/NoSQL databases to store and organize large datasets collected through Scrapy.
6. System Architecture: Work collaboratively with other developers to design scalable, resilient architectures that support data-heavy applications.
7. Continuous Integration & Automation: Use Python to automate tasks, optimize CI/CD workflows, and enhance deployment processes for faster and more reliable releases.
8. Mentorship & Code Review: Mentor junior developers, conduct code reviews, and contribute to maintaining high coding standards and best practices.

2. Scrapy Framework: Extensive experience in Scrapy, including creating custom spiders, handling complex data extraction requirements, and working with proxies and data pipelines.
3. Laravel (PHP): Familiarity with Laravel for backend development, including API creation, routing, and MVC structure.
4. Database Management: Proficiency in SQL and NoSQL databases for efficient data storage and retrieval.
5. API Development: Hands-on experience with RESTful APIs and integrating external services.
6. Automation & DevOps: Familiarity with CI/CD tools, Docker, and version control systems (Git).
